Hi Richard,

Was disappointed in the Furusiyya book because the collection had 2-3 circa 1500 Mamluk swords they did not display or publish in the book that would have really helped.

Look for a book on Mamluk Art, study the styles as they are very unique and start to grow on you. Accumlate as many Mamluk design examples as you can with an emphasis on metalwork. Now you start looking at art from all countries that had trade with the Mamluks, considering they had routes from the mediterranian to India and beyond that is quite a bit.

The Arts of the Muslim Knight if the best book on Mamluk swords so far.
