    I am looking for a reference that I see often with scale weights, but have not found a copy:
    Bendall, Simon. Byzantine Weights: An Introduction. London (1996)
    Bendall Scale Wts C Davis.jpg
    A group of weights listed in one of the NYINC auctions gives the book as a reference.
    I think the book had a short run and was not republished. I have seen it in a few libraries and old auctions, but not in a current auction. Charles Davis sold one on V-Coins, but had only one.
    This week I saw downloads offered by two web sites (one is http://rtfuoso.ru/tewominyhava.pdf). They offer a free month, but require a credit card to make the first download. I have downloaded several books, but this one looked a bit off color. The cover was different than the one above, odd for a one run book. I am glad I did not send a card #. Review sites called these guys (and a few others who offer book and movie downloads) scammers.

    I wouldn't trust ANYTHING that was offered for download from a .ru website...
