Thumbs up Reference: THE ARMS OF GREECE

... AND HER BALKAN NEIGHBOURS IN THE OTTOMAN PERIOD, by Robert Elgood

Just got it and it's brilliant!

A superb reference book on Ottoman weapons, lavishly illustrated, that should be part of every serious collector's library.

LOL!!!
Indeed
But here I gotta agree too. The works of Robert Elgood are an absolute must in any arms library. For me, his footnotes alone are a joy. These are 'browsing' books, beyond just being sound references.
The years of research he spent on this book are easily reflected in this volume, and if I recall, there was a big event in Athens as this was officially released.
