A new book by the famous Russian weapons expert Alexander Nikolaevich Kulinsky
It is devoted to a little—studied topic in the history of the Russian army - fencing competitions and prize weapons of officers. The publication is illustrated with photographs of prize blades from the collections of Russian museums and private collections, and some items are published for the first time. The book is a full—fledged scientific research carried out at the junction of two special historical disciplines - weapons science and biography. This new work by one of the leading experts will be interesting not only to connoisseurs, collectors and researchers of Russian edged weapons, but also to anyone interested in the history of military applied sports. The volume is 420 pages.
