Summary
"Robert Elgood's masterful text weaves together the story of the weapons - their technology, manufacture and trade - with the deeds of their owners and the history of the region. Balkan weapons were traded in bazaars from North Africa through Arabia to India, while firearms might incorporate gun barrels and locks imported from Italy, France or England. Decorations were often applied by silversmiths in workshops far from the place where a weapon was made. Until now these arms have been loosely described as Ottoman; Dr Elgood's groundbreaking research opens a new frontier in arms history."--BOOK JACKET.
