PÉTARD MICHEL - SABERS AND SWORDS, complete collection in three volumes. 27361
Complete meeting of the 3 volumes on mounted troops and foot troops (volumes 1 and 2 being out of print).
The reference work on French bladed weapons from Louis XIV to the present day by the specialist on the subject. The culmination of many years of research, the result of the scholarly confrontation between the object and the document, here is finally the work that everyone was waiting for, an essential tool of knowledge and identification now within the reach of everyone, neophyte or initiate, enthusiasts of French military bladed weapons. This rich catalog lists, in an exhaustive illustrated suite with comments, all the weapon models as well as the variants and other contemporary fantasies, put into service in the French armies from Louis XIV to the present day. The chronological method favors a use accessible to everyone, with its numerous color plates accompanied by descriptive and historical notices, its synoptic tables organized by specialties, its morphological suites, to which are attached sets of punches from manufacturing or private centers, with a very comprehensive glossary of art terms. We also find skinned boards, a complete inventory of the sheaths and blades then in use, information completely new to this day.
Finally, photographs to provide the reader with visual information, complementary to the graphic indication.
Michel Pétard has specially reserved for this edition a multitude of new information, spectacular contributions on sword identifications and corrected dating thanks to numerous archives discovered from the Ariès notebooks. In addition, the author has uncompromisingly excluded the numerous forgeries and copies that could mislead the reader, unfortunately included in numerous works. The illustrated plates allow simple and rapid identification of a weapon, while having access to the most precise and exact information available on this subject. Indispensable work for every amateur.
