His name is Thomas Holbein Hendley. During his long stay in India he wrote quite a lot of books on Indian arms and art, amongst others the below mentioned.
Ulwar and its Art Treasures, 1888.
Damascening on Steel or Iron, as Practised in India, 1892.
The Rulers of India, and the Chiefs of Rajaputhana, 1897.
Indian Jewellery, 1909.
Several of these books have been reprinted.
P. Holstein: Contribution a L’études des Armes Orientales, tome second. Paris, 1931. Plate XXII, no 99, shows a bhuj like the two shown by Hendley and the left one shown in my picture. The blades are the same but the decoration a little bit different.
Also plate XXIII no 163 and 199.
All three from Kutch.
