And the rest.

I doubt whether the two huge bearing swords actually are in Torino although I found them in the same photo stream.

If I recall correct the two huge bearing swords are in the Tower of London. They are well over 2 meters each :eek:

Actually, the roundel with the many flintlock pistols is at the Royal Armouries Leeds (second from bottom).

A similar one at the Tower?

Hi Fernando,

You're perfectly right, this is of course the same image and it was shot at the Tower..;)

I must admit that the last time that I have been to the Tower was in 1991 and my last visit to the Royal Armouries Leeds was in 1997. My memory has not faded when it comes down to 'my' early stuff though which I also took tons of photos of. Sorry for not caring much about such 'late' stuff as 18th century flintlocks then ... :eek:

Be well.

Some of these pictures are also from the Real Armerķa in Madrid.
