Aroldi - Gaibi - Armi e Armature Italiane / Armi da Fuoco Italiane - 1961

These are the two most monumental works on ancient Italian weapons enclosed in a single box set. Overall weight: 9 kg. The volumes published by Bramante are in excellent condition, but it should be noted that the binding of one of the volumes is loose (but intact) on the back, as shown in the last photo.
All the colour plates are glued to the page, which already at the time greatly increased printing costs.
