Also to Ufizzi you can now take pictures. It was a pleasant surprise for me, because all the guidebooks saying otherwise.

The new Italian tourism minister changed the long standing rule last year, and most museums allow picture taking now, with exception of some private exhibitions.

Here it is, made by a Persian perhaps but not a "Persian" yatagan/yataghan.

I visited the Wereldmuseum today to see if I could add anything to this wonderfull thread.

Here a small impression of the exhibition at Rotterdam.

I think it is interesting that they paired the pata (plur. s?) with the rifles. I've never seen a pata as a wholly practical offensive weapon. But come to think of it. I don't think I can recall any such rifles as these having bayonets. Is it possible that the pata could be armed on the supporting hand for a rifle, and used to stabilize aim; Then if attacked between reloads, used in the same manner that a bayonet would be?
