I have been a fanatical collector and student of European Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor for the past 35 years. I was trained by the absolute best in the field. This publication started as a weekend 20-page article to help beginners enter the field of arms and armor. Very quickly, I realized I had much more to offer. Therefore, I decided to transcribe everything I have learned into a massive, easy-to-learn publication to share my knowledge. I thought that by working 20 hours a week, I could finish this labor of love in 6-8 months… WRONG!!! My weekend project metamorphosed into a 6-year major life-changing undertaking. Every time I thought I had finished a chapter, I would add more and more. To call it an obsession would not be an understatement. When I first started collecting Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor, there were simply no books for a beginner to learn from. Most Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor books deal only with collections in major museums. These books are great but not very helpful to new collectors searching for knowledge on available pieces in the collector's market. Museum-quality pieces are seldom available for sale, and when they are, they are exceptionally expensive, with only the very wealthy having the means to afford them. These books on museum collections are nearly useless for beginners or even advanced collectors. Sadly, there are no university courses or other formal training/teaching in Arms and Armor. In general, museums are forbidden from advising on purchases for fear of lawsuits. Newcomers usually rely on the knowledge of others who might not be as qualified as they may think. The advice newcomers receive too often is based on speculation, conjecture, imagination, ego, flawed research, or even something they saw in a Hollywood movie! How about old auction catalogs or auctioneers? Maybe that's a good place to start learning? Auction catalogs, like auctioneers, are designed to sell, not educate. They generally do not point out flaws because this only lowers bids. Auction houses are the middleman between the seller and buyer, and their only mission is to sell. What about the Internet? From the safety of their keyboard, anyone can write anything on the Internet. Like most auction catalogs, the Internet and even some classic books on Arms and Armor are full of misinformation. For those of you who are well versed in some of the written classics of Arms and Armor, be forewarned: Laking, Oakeshott, Violet-le Du, Demmin, Dean, and others need updating. Most dealers mark up their items 100%–500% for new collectors! The less you know about Arms and Armor, the more you pay! The first thing most dealers will do is see how much knowledge you have. The less knowledge you have, the more they can bluff you and try to impress you. Not everybody pays the same. There are usually prices for knowledgeable, experienced collectors and higher prices for new, inexperienced, or non-collector buyers. Ironically many dealers, like auctioneers, know very little. Don't worry about tricky dealers, salesman, and auctioneers. After reading this book, you will never be taken advantage of again. If you understand the real facts and secrets of buying at auctions and dealers, you should be able to find potential inaccuracies and misrepresentations in 50-95% of auction house catalogs. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to be rich to have a good collection. After 35 years of buying millions of dollars of arms and armor worldwide, I have discovered unconventional places you can find Arms and Armor for pennies on the dollar! It's not just the knowledge you will acquire. It's also the money you will save and the embarrassment you will avoid. If you are an advanced collector of Arms and Armor with 20-50 years of experience, I promise you that this publication will help you get to the next level fast! A level that in the past was treated as a deep dark secret seldom put to print and only whispered about by only the most knowledgeable curators. If you are a beginning collector, rest assured you have just taken the first step to starting your collection and accumulating knowledge at a very accelerated pace. If you are an art lover, decorator, or a person looking for a fantastic conversation piece for your home or office but don't want to pay high auction or dealer prices, you also have come to the right place. In my opinion, Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor are the most undervalued form of art. Pieces sell for a fraction of their true artistic value compared with other art forms requiring much less skill to execute. If you are a re-enactor, you will now be closer to the truth and can take your hobby to new heights. Additionally, you'll be able to teach others what is real and what is fantasy. If you are an investor (or just very conscientious of where you spend/invest your money), you will be happy to know that Medieval Arms and Armor could appreciate in value faster than many Wall Street investments. Unlike a stock or bank deposit, you can view and enjoy your "investment" every day. If you're a history aficionado, you will love that Medieval Arms and Armor also has a romance, mystique, and charm combined with its feudal past that no other art form can claim. You will be amazed how by only using a small coal forge, the Medieval armorer made amazing creations of incredible beauty yet deadly efficiency in combat with only simple, rudimentary tools. You will be fascinated by the step-by-step illustrations of how Arms and Armor evolved the way they did; it was not by accident. Even with computers and modern tools, the works created by the Renaissance armorer cannot be duplicated. In the 1960s, when NASA was designing space suits for astronauts, they studied a foot combat armor made for Henry VIII for the Field of Cloth of Gold Tournament in 1519 when he was 28 years old. The suit weighed 94 pounds and was so well engineered that moving in it was almost effortless. This Medieval ergonomic engineering marvel speaks volumes about the ingenuity of the Medieval and Renaissance armorers. If you're into movies such as Games of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings, you'll realize the Middle Ages and Renaissance can be more amazing than the best Hollywood fantasy. This publication will make it faster and easier to find the correct answers without (1) spending endless hours of research; (2) spending tens of thousands of dollars on hard-to-find books, publications, and obscure articles; (3) expensive paid research; (4) the cost of translating German or Italian books, and most importantly (5) spending years getting bad advice that will guide you down the wrong path. I have compiled this publication based on: A) my tutelage, B) over 5,000 pages of personal notes and emails over 35 years with the best in the field. C) a library of over 800 books and publications that I have read many times, most of which are expensive and difficult to find. (D) Research from commissioned experts in the field. Just one research paper alone costs many times more than the price of this publication, and the information can take months to research. Now, it's instantly at your fingertips. (E) Research I've done on my own. (F) My own 35 years of experience dealing with the best and worst in the field worldwide. (G) Exchanging information with the most knowledgeable curators, scholars, collectors, dealers, sellers, and buyers worldwide. Do not even think of starting or adding to your collection until you read all 434 pages of this book!!! This easy-to-learn from publication will make it easier for you to communicate with other advanced collectors and scholars. You will have the same knowledge and the same common points of reference. You will also no longer sound like a beginner. Nothing Is Held Back – It's All Here.
