ARМOUR AND WEAPONS IN MEDIEVAL SERBIA, BOSNIA AND DUBROVNIK

[gp]

Some information on the topic in an English summary. The complete book can legally be downloaded from the internet.

Although written in Cyrillic, the pictures and drawings are most interesting as you can learn from the 4 (out of many in the book) I have added as an example.

something went wrong with the upload of the English text, hereby...

I am sorry, it was some time ago when I downloaded it, perhaps you can try by searching on the Serbo-Croat name :

Gavro a. Skrivanic - Oruzje u Srednjovekovnoj Srbiji, Bosni i Dubrovniku

or in Cyrillic

Гавро A. Шкриванић - Оружје у средњовековној Србији, Босни и Дубровнику


tip: sometimes adding pdf to your search does help as well..

Thanks for sharing this useful document.
I am somewhat surprised not to find, in the illustrations of swords, the flatted square pommels with central bosses, characteristic of the late-medieval spada schiavonesca of Dalmatia, which later evolved into the familiar cat's head pommel seen on the basket hilted schiavona used by Dalmatians and Venetians from the 1580s onward.
