The more interesting to get acquainted with the samples of weapons and armor of this transitional era, is not it?

    I liked the fashionable and elegant Turkish shishak. The rest of the helmets probably perform their role well on the battlefield, but there is no soul in them.

    The armor is gorgeous! When only the States managed to dive. It is a pity that we do not have many of these artifacts presented.

    Once again I went to admire and could not help but leave a comment - an upscale weapon is always beautiful, and even if it is also a work of art ...
