1- the so called "four mirrors" armour over the mail which wasn't used by khevsur as far as we are aware 2- the saber Eastern georgian not khevsur 3-the the man is georgian but not not khevsur, he is a collector from from the soviet era here is an article about him: https://museum.ge/index.php?lang_id=...&info_id=15740 Never the less it is a nice photo and shows some nice original weapons, but not a proper representation of khevsurs |

There is one staged photo after another, in the one above there are multiple ethnic inconsistencies, the two pics of Ossetian men on this page seem to be wearing the same kindjal.
And there is even one picture from Odisha ( Orissa), but.... no khanjarli. Studio photographs were heavily staged, and their validity as reflecting reality is severely compromised. |

dat_man,
Thanks for your information about that "fake" photo. Ariel, These photos are what they are. I think we are all aware of some of the limitations of studio portraits. It's good to be reminded from time to time. Let's move on ... |

Probably Annam.
It's a shame that the background is retouched. |

Does look photoshopped. The guy on the right doesn't seem too happy about it either. Interesting swords, rather large...
Cool photo tho. 👍 |

In Vietnamese they are called trường gươm 長劔, which means "long sword" or "long saber". By the time photography appeared, it was already an exclusively ceremonial weapon. In temples and shrines, it was often kept in the form of wooden models covered with multi-colored varnish.
Oval wicker shields are even more interesting and rare in my opinion. Last edited by Ren Ren; 20th October 2021 at 08:47 PM. Reason: Supplement |
