Hi All, I thought I recognised that picture that Sutoris uploaded. It is taken off a book I downloaded from SCRIBD called "Siberian Warriors" and Weapons. It is in Russian but has some good images. Below is full image. I also got a book called Ukraine's Armies and Adversaries in 17th Century and I found they still used the Sagaris although I don't know if they were Cossacks because it is in Russian. I shall upload pic from that book as well

PS. I agree with Vindex about SCRIBD. I went for the Day Pass but then went for the annual fee which was $60. Good selection of books and papers (a lot of Osprey material available) as well as a book on Chinese armour written in Chinese but with good images and at the back has an English translation for images. But beware when you use their search engine make sure you let it know that you only want free books as their are some books (most are free though) that they want you to pay for especially with a subject like Ancient China.Michael Kerr
