Abstract

<jats:p>Gunsmithing was one of the oldest branches of craftsmanship of Armenians. Having separated from blacksmithing earlier than other types of craftsmanship, it was originally a purely urban craft. Armenian gunsmiths gained great fame in the Middle Ages. The medieval cities of Ani and Dvin were well-known centers of armory manufacturing. The fame of spears, swords, sabers, daggers, battle axes and other weapons produced here went beyond the borders of the country.</jats:p>
