Some of the most beautiful and rare side arms in the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum Vienna, and the Hungarian Army Museum Budapest have been photographed for this book.

Hussar Regiment, the sabre owned by Emperor Karl I., or the stunning work of a skilled goldsmith on the sabre presented to the Austrian Field Marshal Radetzky during of the revolution in1848, by Vienna?s National Guard. Open this book, and follow the development of Austro-Hungarian side arms, from the simple cut and thrust weapons of the 19th century to the elaborately decorated status symbols of the then k.u.k. Army.
