you could post a basic list of what you already have so people could list the ones you still need.
Is there a field of specialization (time or place) or are you looking for everything?

Blood Red Roses. It’s about the battle of Towton. Quite technical but a very eye-opening read.

I assume you already have Oakeshott's books, and Swords of the Viking Age, so here are some other suggestions.
The Sword: Form and Thought - a recent title, and is pretty good. Hans Prunner puts out some good stuff here, if you have the budget for it. Hafted Weapons in Medieval and Renaissance Europe - the go-to book for polearms. 2,500 Years of European Helmets. Armi Bianche Italiane - old and expensive, but well regarded.
Beyond that there are more specialised titles e.g. The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England: From the 5th to 7th Century, which may or may not appeal depending on your interests.
