> For those of you who like armour, siege engines
> and stuff the Armouries also have their annual
> volumes that comprise many subjects each.
> 
> There are early firearms, making and firing
> replicas of early cannon, armor and weapons
> from many countries, etc. There are more chapters
> in each one than are on the website. Do not think
> that listing is all inclusive. It isn't at all.
> I have bought all the annuals and am quite pleased
> with them.
> 
> An example:
> Royal Armouries Yearbook Volume 2 1997 has articles on
> reconstructing the Sardis Helmet, British Iron Age mail,
> and how to make a hardened leather helmet/armour. This
> involves heavily Oak Tanned leather from one of the few
> English Tanneries still doing the medieval method of
> tanning. The helmet is two piece, an inner crown and an
> outer shell with flared neck guard. Reminds me of an
> archer's helmet. stretched and dried on wooden formers.
> Stapled, dried, rewet, hammered a bit, heated with air
> guns. Very nice results. Also a really 	good article
> on crossbows including detailed views of Norwegian
> Whaling crossbows. There are many more chapters on
> other things.
> 
> Volume 6 has a history of the crossbow from the
> 9th century on in Britain. Also pyrotechnic devices
> from Coburg Castle. Good and Bold: A Late 15th Century
> Artillery Train; Casting and Firing a Mary Rose Culverin;
> The Bowman's Thumb-ring; Organizing a Club Tourney -
> literally clubs like they did in medieval tournaments.
> 
> I don't have all the contents for every one in my
> computer for citation. You'll have to get an idea of
> what's in them from the listing on the website.
>

> they publish on multiple subjects.
