The leather-bound book "Combat edged weapons of the Russian army and Navy. 1700-1881."The leather-bound book "Combat edged weapons of the Russian army and Navy. 1700-1881."The publication offered to the readers is the first weapons reference book in Russian practice, which provides a scientific and documentary justification for the existing combat-ready models of cold weapons that were in service with the Russian Guard, army and navy in the period 1700-1881. Also, for the first time, the scientific attribution of already known and newly identified weapons samples was carried out in the reference book. A wide range of weapons presented on the pages of the handbook represents the richest collections of domestic and foreign museums: the State Hermitage Museum, VIMAIViVS, GIM, Tula State Museum of Weapons, the Moscow Kremlin Museums and the Museum of the Polish Army. To identify rare and little-known samples of weapons, the authors had to turn to the funds of regional Russian museums located in Vladimir, Dmitrov, Izhevsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kostroma, Omsk, Perm and Chita. A significant contribution to the creation of a complete collection of weapons samples was made by private domestic and foreign collectors. To compile the documentary basis of the handbook, in addition to the already published materials, the authors used unpublished sources from the collections of leading domestic specialized archives: the Russian State Military Historical Archive; the Russian State Archive of the Navy; the Russian State Historical Archive; the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts; the Archive of the VIMAIViVS and the State Archive of the Tula region.
