"The Persian Shamshir and the Signature of Assad Allah"

M.carter · 29th April 2006, 11:53 AM

Hi,

Does anyone here know where I could pick this great article up, last year, I contacted its author, Mr. Oliver Pinchot, and he said he would send me one, but the stupid postal service here in Kuwait (grrrrrr....) never delivers anything

I would like to have it and read it, for it covers a topic Ive been very interested in lately. Im using a much more secure method of post now, and I think I would recieve it this time.

Anyone know its price?

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark , the paper appeared in the magazine ARMS COLLECTING Vol. 40 No. 1
February 2002 . Unfortunately I can see no contact info for this magazine anywhere on its pages .

Possibly Mr. Pinchot lurks here and will hear your plea or you could contact him again ; then there is always the used book seller route .

I have a copy but I am loathe to part with it .
With Mr. Pinchot's express permission I would photocopy it and send it out to you ; but only with his permission .

Rick

EDIT :
Mark , contact these guys for a back issue .

Thanks alot Rick, I have just sent an email to that company, and I shall wait and see.

Hopefully, Mr.Pinchot will see this, and put my out of my misery.

Hi

I know Oliver Pinchot I got the journal from him at the Baltimore Show a couple years ago. It is an excellent article. He gave me permission to post it online so people dont have to chase around after it.
Anyone else needs it can email me will provide link

Thanks alot Ward, is this the entire article?

EDIT: Stupid me, just opened it with ACDsee and found it was much more than one page. Once again, much thanks.

Im quite lucky, I was just about to send my father's credit card details to Joyce, a saleswoman from the company which Rick thankfully sent me their link, to buy the magazine.

What can I say, more money to save for "Arms and Armour of Arabia...."

i'm glad you found what you were looking for. If anyone needs anything for this magazine in the future you might be able to get back issues here:

Yeah, i know, sometimes those website addresses are just a little too obvious.

I tried to buy some copies last year and when I wrote the arms collecting publisher at this address they were out of them. They also quit doing the journal in general after something like 40 years they told me. Anyway I do have copies of the shamshir article journals now if anyone needs one drop me an email. Photos are better in the hard copy.
