First Time Revealed… Hundreds of years of deeply hidden secrets… discoveries… and little known knowledge that in the past were only known to a few privileged museum curators with over 50 years of experience. Everything you ever wanted to know about Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor clearly taught in step-by-step detail.
I have been a fanatical collector, dealer, and student of European Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor for the past 35 years. I was trained by the absolute best in the field. When I started collecting, there were simply no books for a beginner to learn from. Most books deal only with museum collections. Museum-quality pieces are seldom available for sale, and when they are, they are prohibitively expensive. Some collectors turn to auction catalogs to learn? Auction catalogs are designed to sell not educate. Other collectors rely on dealers that attend local antique and guns shows. These dealers want to sell to you, not educate you because there are prices for knowledgeable collectors and much higher for new, inexperienced buyers. Don’t worry about tricky dealers, salesman, and auctioneers. After reading this book, you will never be taken advantage of again. I reveal hundreds of years of deeply hidden secrets, discoveries, and little-known insider knowledge that in the past was only known to curators with over 50 years of experience! Page after page of color pictures and diagrams showing the exact evolution and the development of Arms and Armor. I will also show you little-known places to find Arms and Armor for pennies on the dollar. You do not need to be rich to have a good collection. If you are an advanced collector with 20-50 years of experience, this publication will quickly get you to the next level. If you are a reenactor, you will know the truth and be your group’s expert. If you are an investor, Medieval Arms and Armor could appreciate faster than many Wall Street investments, and you can view and enjoy your “investment” every day. If you’re a history aficionado, you will love that Medieval Arms and Armor also has a romance and mystique combined with its feudal past that no other art form can claim. If you’re into movies, you’ll realize the Middle Ages and Renaissance can be more amazing than the best Hollywood fantasy. Welcome to the brotherhood.
