Peter, the endorsements are very well deserved!!! and I am glad to be able to thank you personally for the profound knowledge and insight into the arms of the Manchu and the key history you have openly shared online. Your work has been the main resource I have used, and very much appreciated.
I honestly had not known these details about the QianLong Emperor, who seems to have had keen interest and innovations in the styles of weaponry used by his forces. Thank you for coming in on this and adding these wonderful details
.
All very best regards
Jim
