Second-hand books.
Volumes on cavalry troops and infantry troops (volume 2 is out of print).
The reference work on French edged 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 object and document, here is the book that everyone has been waiting for, an essential tool of knowledge and identification now within the reach of all, whether novices or experts, enthusiasts of French military edged weapons. This rich catalog inventories, in a comprehensive and commented illustrated sequence, all models of weapons as well as variants and contemporary fantasies, put into service in the French armies from Louis XIV to the present day. The chronological method favors an approach accessible to everyone, with its numerous color plates accompanied by descriptive and historical captions, its synoptic tables organized by specialties, its morphological series, to which are added sets of stamps of manufacturing or private centers, with a very complete glossary of the terms of the trade. We also find dissecting plates, a complete inventory of scabbards and blades then in use, information completely unprecedented to date.
Finally, photographs providing the reader with visual information, complementary to the graphical indication.
Michel Pétard has specially reserved for this edition a multitude of unpublished information, spectacular contributions on saber identifications and corrected datings thanks to many archives discovered since the Ariès notebooks. Moreover, the author has uncompromisingly excluded the numerous fakes and copies that can deceive the reader, sadly reproduced in many books. The illustrated plates allow for a simple and quick identification of a weapon, while accessing the most precise and accurate information available on the subject. An essential work for every enthusiast.
