The photos are of good quality and show all the important details of the blank weapons. The photographic material comes partly from the archives of "Hermann Historica" and partly from the private archives of the author. The technical aspects of the objects presented are also explained. Contemporary photographs show how the daggers and rapiers were carried and what uniforms were worn with them.
This book also has appendices and will remain for a long time, an essential reference document and beautiful presentation that will honour your library.
