Full title: Le Armature di S. Maria delle Grazie di Curtatone di Mantova e l'Armatura Lombarda del '400

This is one of the rarer titles in the pantheon of arms and armour books. It was published by Bramante in 1982 in a limited edition of 2,000 copies (this is #1315). It covers Lombardic armour of the 14th-15th centuries generally as well as a specific deposit of harnesses in a church in Mantova (Mantua). That deposit is one of the largest collections of armour of that region/era in the world. Text is in Italian. There are over 530 pictures (black and white and quite a few in color) of armour, period art, and the occasional weapon, plus around 200 line drawings and photos of armourer's marks. Overall, it's right about 300 pages.

Condition is good. The cloth bound book itself is in very good shape, with a little foxing. The dust jacket is covered with clear contact paper and appears sturdy/sound.

This title is hard to find and expensive when you can find it. See here.

Asking $490 or best offer plus shipping. Paypal preferred. Trade offers (especially from makers) will be entertained. :)

This is a super rare book and one of the best resources on Italian armour of the 15th century.

Did Santa bring you some extra cash for Christmas? This would be a great gift to yourself. :)

Now asking $425 or best offer + shipping. I don't expect to drop the price any further and will likely remove it from sale if it doesn't sell soon.

This will be available until the end of the month. If it hasn’t sold, I’ll pull it off the market here and figure out what to do with it.

I have a chunk of money wrapped up in it that I need to get back. Feel free to send any offer (even if you worry it’s too low); I’ll listen to any offer.

This is a stunning, rare book that doesn’t come up too often.
