Part of the Encyclopedia of the Russian Army series, the book is dedicated to the gorget - one of the less researched and ostensible items of a military uniform reaching back in its origin to knight armor of the Middle Ages.

A rare treat of a book in everything, from the luxury paper it is printed on and abundance of illustrations and photos - all of genuine items and actual people or battle episodes - to the joy of finally having a comprehensive research on the history and evolution of the Russian gorget. This subject had received almost no coverage in all previously published literature. The author is a well-known and highly regarded authority on the subject of imperial military uniforms.

Makes a fantastic gift - if you are capable of letting the book go. We have only a single copy of this out-of-print book available, and it is in brand-new unused condition.
