Yes the show of weapons is really fascinating - thanks for showing the pictures.

Richard, the interesting thing is - how many of the weapons came from Deccan?
It is known that they in the north, had great artists doing this kind of iron work, but it is also known that Anup Singh after the fall of Adoni send a lot of weapons to Bikaner. To this comes that he had, for years, campaigned in Deccan, so many of the weapons sent home could have come from other places than from Adoni.
We will need an expert on Deccani weapons to go to Bikaner, to have a look at the weapons to tell us what is what.
