Welcome to the Forum. Great comun passion, collecting, maybe you'll post a few of your pieces here. Few hints about your books:
Cameron Stone's "Glossary of...." is one of my most treasured books but many "groundbreaking discoveries" have been made since the times that was wrote but the book itself its well accepted as the "Beginner's Bible". No one else ever since darred making a better universal compendium.
Tirri's giant " Islamic weapons - Maghrib to Moghul" has been the subject of vivid debates. I am one of those that accuse Tirri of slight amateurism for the sake of spectacular and exotic. The examples used have not necesarilly been the most representative. The book has had so much advertising now you are being backfired if criticise it. But again, I love reading it and consult it at times.
