Therion's armor and weapons page

 Everybody's got to have a hobby other than seeking information-overload via the internet. Well, I've found a way to incorporate both my net addiction and my fascination with armor and weapons. This web page is a start - it's based on a random collection of arms and armor photos that I found deep in a K-12 gopher. I did the descriptions out of memory, so if you notice any errors in nomenclature, drop me a letter and I'll fix it.
 Click on the thumbnail picture or on the description to see the full version.
 Note: This page was created for a project in December, 1994, and hasn't been updated since.
