Tears tears and more tears, such a waste. Very grateful the images are out for all to view though, thank you.

Normally every greedy collecting bone in my body would be standing at attention over these pics....but for some reason I just wanna cry. This is such a waste. Think of how many of the smaller museums in Turkey would LOVE to have just one or two examples in their collections, but instead....this!

That's an arsenal of weapons losing to rust...

They could hire me to clean every one of those.. I'd do it.

Zifir thank you for posting these. Wow, I wonder if some of the museums in US are keeping their "off-season" stuff in the same manner.
