Get a Free Oakeshott Book in Hand!
myArmoury.com, in conjunction with Arms & Armor, is giving away a free copy of Sword in Hand by Ewart Oakeshott to THREE lucky myArmoury.com members!
Description: Reading this book is like spending an evening with the world's foremost expert on the medieval sword and discussing his favorite subject. Mr. Oakeshott has rewritten a collection of articles, adding additional chapters and illustrations, describing the development of the medieval sword in its historical context. This concise overview of the development of the European sword is enhanced with the unique insight of the author and gritty anecdotal examples that bring life to these historical subjects.
The work is heavily illustrated with the author's unparalleled collection of photos and illustrations presented in a large format. This gives the student of the sword detail often left out of other volumes on the topic. An excellent addition to any library of the medieval period and a must for the student of the sword, these 147 pages with 126 illustrations are something not to be missed.
This book is typically available only through Arms & Armor and has a value of $60 US.

I have wanted that book for quite a while but never go around to buying it.
