* RECOMMENDED *  Show DetailsThis should not be used as a stand alone reference, but will be a great supplement for anyone who studies British swords.

I think it is a bit pricey for what it is, but used copies can be found for half the list price. —Updated Jan 31, 2010 :: 1 of 1 members found this review helpful |
