*IF* that's the "Silk Road Arms" from way back in the dial-up days of the internet that did Persian / Arabic armor, that *might* be a legit listing; only going off the seller's name

Haha, yeah, I think it was Norman something or something Norman? Haven't seen the site in forever and can't find it now, probably not the same guy.

It says it's an 1887 edition. That's believable, but I certainly wouldn't want to throw down that sort of cash without some assurance.

That's a lot of money for a book that can be had as a reprint for a very small fraction of the cost of that particular one.

That is an interesting looking sword he has in the pic with the book...anyone know or have an idea as to provenance?
