Lady Seahawke Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 If anyone is interested found a grand book, entitled "Weapons - An International Encyclopedia from 5000B.C. to 2000A.D. " the Updated Edition...the diagram Group. Contains really good pics and descriptions...nice section on swords, daggers, breech loading, smooth bore weapons, cannons, etc. type of ammunition, usage of the aforementioned weapons...etc. Great pics and graphics...thought I would pass the information along... Cass Shows weapons that were used around the world in the 17th and 18th century and not just the European designed. Contains some, imho, some surprising information on weapons in use during the age of piracy...So if anyone is interested you might look for it... Cassandra Lady Cassandra Seahawke Captain of SIREN'S RESURRECTION, Her fleet JAGUAR'S SPIRIT, ROARING LION , SEA WITCH AND RED VIXEN For she, her captains and their crews are.... ...Amazon by Blood... ...... Warrior by Nature...... ............Pirate by Trade............ If'n ye hear ta Trill ye sure to know tat yer end be near...
LadyLeigh Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Sounds interesting, I'll be sure to look for it when I get a chance.
capnwilliam Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Thank yer fer the tip, Cassandra. Sounds like a worthy successor to my beloved and much-consulted Stone's "Glossary of the Construction, Decoration, and Use of Arms and Armor..." Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
