Russian Military Uniforms, XVIII to early XX C., Vladislav Glinka,
Leningrad, 1988, 239 pp, large format hard cover with dust jacket. In Russian with brief summary and index of illustrations in English.

Subtitled "Uniforms, Equipment and Weapons of the Russian
Imperial Army, 1914-1917" this is the third volume in the

Infantry enlisted and officer ranks.

This reference guide contains literally hundreds of examples
of hunting and pocket knives, as well as tableware produced in
the traditional craft centers of Pavlovo, Vacha, and others.

suggest. This is an invaluable resource for the collector of
Russian and Soviet edged weapons.
