Historical Weapons.com

Webmaster Kruno Kovacic has done a steller job of putting together a fascinating online store of historical weaponry, where you can find a fine selection of handmade arms and armouries renowned thoroughout the world and spanning the centuries. With popular movies such as Braveheart and the Gladiator enchanting us with historically accurate costumes and arms of Medieval times, Historical Weapons.com is a must see website for both serious collectors as well as history buffs.

Items are superbly accurate representations of weapons dating from Roman times through the present day. Designs are based on existing pieces in museum or private collections and construction is generally of high-grade casting alloy metal. Finishes replicate both the as-made finish of the original and, in some cases, the patinas developed with time and use. These replicas are intended for collection, display, costuming, and decoration. Made in Toledo, Spain.

In addition to reproduction items, also featured are authentic antique arms selected by an antique dealer member of the Spanish Federation of Antique dealers and Member of The Arms & Armour Society, United Kingdom. The photographs shown here are a few of the exquisite examples of antique weapons and references.

Kruno has included a complete Sword Terminology section as well as fascinating articles pertaining to historical weapons. Reference books, posters, outstanding screen savers (one of which is gracing my desktop), auctions, and many links are also to be found on Kruno's website, that is just an amazing wealth of information.
