Thanks so much for your time and effort in the pics. I visited this museum this past summer and was just mesmerized. I was, however, a little concerned over the upkeep and care of the some of the pieces.
The museum did not appear interested in revealing wootz steel at all, but instead kept them in their "as found" condition. There are some superb wootz blades hidden in those pics.... Thanks again! |

The same is true about blades in the Turkish Chamber in Dresden and in the Wallace.
My guess the conservators : 1. Wanted to keep them in the "as found" condition ( as sugested by Charles) 2. Did not want to subject them to acid etching, ie corrosion. Academically correct, but esthetically disappointing. |
