Interesting collection of weapons. It reinforces India's place as the homeland of unusual and exotic weapons. Just when you think you've seen em all, something else come along. Any interesting pieces of armour there BTW?

I'm no lawyer, but I have a feeling that if we post our own photos taken with our own cameras, then they are ours to do as we wish with. Especially as we are not putting these pics in a book, selling it and making loads of dosh!

On another point, I noticed that in several David Nicolle's Osprey books, he has photos of objects from museums all over the word, but he always has the words "authors photo" between brackets at the end of the caption.

I wonder if that General Munro is the same one who lost Ft. Edward to Gen. Montcalm and the Hurons in 1759. Re;Cooper,Mohegans,last one.

And Alex T. hits the buzzer!

Great Koras! Judging by the size of the Dahl,the Kuk and the Koras are a good size!

Sorry Aqtai, no armour, dont think the gurkhas have used it or even saved it when theve captured it.

Guess they tend more towards attack than defence?

Those Kora are big! like around 4 ft long, the Dahl was the biggest Ive seen!

Thanks for the history lesson guys!
