What is also astonishing is that all these weapons have been at one time in the possession of Robert Hales, bought and sold by him in basically an open market; although some have ended up in museums.

I agree This is what happens when you're one of the most prominent dealers in London for 30+ years. A few years ago I saw Bob's table at the arms fair, and he had the best quality items, including persian wootz shield and wootz gold-inlaid silver-clad yataghan. now I feel sorry I did not get them. it is unlikely I'll come across items like these anytime soon
