AKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This photo album,"EL ALMA DE LA ESPADA" wouldn´t be possible without the existence of the book "ESPADAS ESPAÑOLAS, MILITARES Y CIVILES", so, my first acknowledgement is to everyone that collaborated in that first project, both the collectors and enthusiasts or museums and especially to Vicente Navarro & Lluc Sala.
In this new projet I´m collaborating with Gregorio Fuentes & Jose Manuel Gallego who help and asses me especially in the military field.
I rely on Julio Jimenez when referring to military orders & on Francisco Grimalt relating to engineering forces.
As always I rely on the inestimable help of my wife Silvia Pascual and the comprehension of my daughter Veronica, just as I rely on the designs of my brother Pedro Toledo.
This cannot be possible without the photo contributions of generous friends like:
Fernando Redondo - Rafa Jorda - Miguel Gallego - Vicente Navarro - Manuel Patiño -Gregorio Fuentes - Julio Jimenez y Gomez - Francisco Grimalt - Pedro Nieto...
I hope to rely on new contributions that will help to enrich this project.
Thank you everybody.
