Did you wright the title of the book to find it on the web ??ARМOUR AND WEAPONS IN MEDIEVAL SERBIA, BOSNIA AND DUBROVNIK
( with google...)

I tried but It just sent me to your post again...

I am sorry, it was some time ago when I downloaded it, perhaps you can try by searching on the Serbo-Croat name :

Gavro a. Skrivanic - Oruzje u Srednjovekovnoj Srbiji, Bosni i Dubrovniku

or in Cyrillic

Гавро A. Шкриванић - Оружје у средњовековној Србији, Босни и Дубровнику

tip: sometimes adding pdf to your search does help as well..

Thanks for sharing this useful document.
I am somewhat surprised not to find, in the illustrations of swords, the flatted square pommels with central bosses, characteristic of the late-medieval spada schiavonesca of Dalmatia, which later evolved into the familiar cat's head pommel seen on the basket hilted schiavona used by Dalmatians and Venetians from the 1580s onward.
