Glaives, maces, battle flails, eared daggers, fighting scythes, cranequin crossbows, swords, partisans, spontoons, battle axes, great helms, hounskulls, flintlocks, wheellocks - you name it, Eric Haenel catalogued and described it in his brief but information-dense 1920 book Alte Waffen which is now avaible to the modern English reader as Weapons of Yore. Take a quick and wild ride through the world of weapons technology from the sack of Rome through the time of Charlemagne to the rise of gunpowder weapons. Every HEMA enthusiast, amateur medeivalist, and lover of all things pointy and iron will enjoy this rich little work which is packed with details and even advice for restoring and displaying armor.
