As explained on the dust jacket: \"The Ottoman Empire ruled a large area for hundreds of years and archival records show that during this time, it issued medals and orders not only to its own people but also to foreign nationals. Since the Empire left its mark on these civilizations over the years, its medals and orders should be of great interest to the people who lived under Ottoman rule during this period. This book is the result of a careful and meticulous fifteen-year research on Ottoman medals and orders and it is the first detailed publication on the subject. Medals and orders are generally considered as significant objects of art and they are an important part of a nation's heritage throughout its history. Furthermore, they symbolize the sovereignty of that nation and honour those who earned them. Ottoman medals and orders symbolize the recent 250-year history and art of the Empire. They are objects of art, symbols of honour and numismatic materials at the same time.\" The book contains 384 pages of text and crisp photographs, printed in full colour throughout, on a quality and thick white satin-finished paper stock, weighing approximately 2.7 kilograms, measuring 240 mm (w) x 335 mm (h) x 36 mm (d).

O'Toole * Sons, Inc. of Norwalk, Connecticut, Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 64-16389. As stated on the dust jacket: \"Published originally in 1938 as \"Notes on French Ordnance\" this work was printed in an extremely limited edition in typewritten form. Copies of that edition when available in recent years commanded as high as $35.00 to $40.00 (1964 dollars) - not merely for its rarity, but rather for the importance of its material. As it is the sole work in English and the most comprehensive of its type, it is the primary source of information on French weapons and of eminent importance as well as a necessity for the collector of \"American Arms\"; a preponderance of American Colonial and Revolutionary weapons being of French manufacture and import. The earliest nationally made weapons were also directly patterned after French models. We recently acquired the copyrights to this work and have had it completely typeset in true book form as well as making a few necessary revisions. The best available printing techniques have been utilized as consistent with the quality of our other publications. A noted author in the field of weaponry, Major Hicks' interest dates to 1918 when his collective activities began. In the intervening years between WWI and WWII vast amounts of data concerning weapons were correlated, leading to the subsequent publication of other standard reference works in the field of historical arms and collecting. Among them \"Notes on U.S. Ordnance\" (Volumes I \u0026amp; II); \"Nathan Starr - Arms Maker 1776-1845\" and \"German Weapons, Uniforms and Insignia 1841-1918\". It begins with a Foreword, followed by a four page List of Contents, the book itself designed without chapters, the alphabetical List of Contents directing the reader to the various subject matter. The author opens by establishing the eight Governments of France from 1715 to 1936 (House of Bourbon, First Republic, First Empire, Bourbon Restored, House of Orleans, Second Republic, Second Empire, Third Republic). The book contains a thorough examination of a wide range of weaponry and accessories during this 221 year period, including: blunderbusses, guns, pistols, rifles, machine guns, artillery (including detonating fuzes), shells, grenades, howitzers, cartridges, bayonets, pikes, sabres, swords, lances, optics, periscopes, telescopes, assorted implements, helmets (for both enlisted men and officers), tanks (including their mounting for guns). It also goes into detail examining various markings on powder bags, propelling charges, fixed ammunition, artillery ammunition and fuzes, small arms ammunition and markings in the various Corps. It comes with various notes, identifying the various models of each item, and is illustrated throughout by the use of line drawings, most of which have multiple identifying pointers and descriptions attached to them, many of the diagrams taken from other original publications.

Neumann, line drawings by George C. Woodbridge, copyrighted in 1973 by The Stackpole Company, published by Stackpole Books of Harriburg, Pennsylvania, printed in the U.S.A., ISBN 0-8117-1720-8. As described on the dust jacket, the book \"pictures, details and identifies more than 700 arms, tracing the evolution and history of each weapon. Located in private collections and institutions, the majority never before photographed for publication, the weapons pulled together here create the first comprehensive study of bladed weapons of the American War of Independence. Spanning the total Colonial period, with major emphasis on the years from 1700 to 1783, this book provides new insight on the shaping of basic weapon patterns and sketches a picture of America's evolving education in military tactics. Although the musket superseded the pike as the infantry's primary arm by 1700 in Europe, linear tactics persisted through the Revolution, and it often was the final clash of bladed weapons - a mass contact of bayonets, knives, swords, and pole arms - that ultimately and quite literally carved out victory. Beginning with the traditional European blades that traveled to America, this expert identifies and describes the basic weapons and explains their tactical use. Early in the Colonial period, adaptation began to appear in those crafted in the Colonies, and experience dictated the evolution of the weapon as traced here for today's historians and collectors. The whole story of blades in linear tactics develops as this book considers the geographic differences in weapons, their importance to civilians, the tactical lessons learned prior to 1775, and weapon production in America and in Europe. The great body of knowledge on identifying and understanding these blades, acquired over the years by private collectors who own most known existing specimens, is gathered here, along with more than 1600 illustrations and descriptive detail on: 1. Swords - infantry and artillery swords, naval swords, those used by horsemen; 2. Bayonets - plug and socket bayonets, tactics, definitions, usage; 3. Pole Arms - 17th and 18th century uses of spontoons, halberds, pikes, patterns and definitions; 4. Knives and Daggers - period of use, manufacture, belt and sheath knives, patterns and definitions; 5. Belt and Camp Axes - European evolution, adaptation in the Colonies, manufacture, carrying devices.\" It begins with a List of Contents, followed by a Preface by the author. The book is divided into seven chapters: 1 - Blades in the Early Colonies; 2 - Cold Steel on the Battlefield; 3 - Lines of Bayonets: The Ultimate Weapon!; 4 - The Flashing Sword: Draw Me Not Without Reason, Sheath Me Not Without Honor!; 5 - Stately Polearms: A Lingering of Prior Centuries; 6 - Knives and Daggers: Carve, Skin, Stab, and Scalp; 7 - The Belt and Camp Axes: To Clear the Land and Defend It!.

Weaver, copyrighted by OMSA in 2000, published in the United States of America by the Orders and Medals Society of America of San Ramon, California, distributed by OMSA Publications of Duluth, Georgia, ISBN 1-890974-09-9. The transition of Imperial Japan from feudal state to modern industrial and military power took less than eighty years. The fall of the Togukawa shogunate in 1868 and rise of a visionary elite dedicated to the achievement of power and wealth drove the Japanese throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Japan's early accomplishments were primarily due to her embrace of technological advances and the adaptation of parts of her culture to the western world. One such cultural adaptation was the institution of European style orders and medals only seven years after the Meiji Restoration. The book illustrates the various orders, medals, badges and other awards of the Japanese Empire, detailing their backgrounds, their metal content, their sizes, defining the elements involved in their designs, the date of institution for each, by what authority and for what purpose they were issued, and the colours of their ribbons. It begins with a Table of Contents, a Preface to the Third Edition, an Acknowledgements by the Editors and the Society, and an Introduction.

As stated on the dust jacket: \"Prior to Indian independence and partition there were some 560 Indian or Princely States covering approximately half the geographical area and accounting for a quarter of the population of the Indian Empire. As times changed and it became more difficult for the Princes to grant land as a reward for good service, some of them attempted to introduce a series of orders, decorations and medals to recognize the efforts of their subjects. The British were generally opposed to the idea, arguing that the sovereign was the fount of all honour and the British Empire had only one sovereign, the King-Emperor. This book traces the arguments for and against the States creating a medallic honours system and identifies 266 honours created by 45 States, as well as 4 created by the Sikh Empire. Some of the medals are known by reference to a ribbon only but many have been photographed and described in detail, with inscriptions translated into English.\" It begins with a Table of Contents, followed by a Preface.
