The Black Powder Armory · Chapter 13

Master Tables

Every weapon and armour in this book, by family, by period, and by price.

Period is when the entry is first found: 1400 (1400 to 1650), 1650 (1650 to 1840), or 1840 (1840 to 1938). An entry that arrives late in its period also prints the year, as 1650, from 1779; before that year it does not exist. An entry stays available in later periods, usually cheaply and second-hand.
