Has anyone ever heard of Roman Black, and why an Indian tulwar in his 'collection' ?
Jim, not to throw shade on your research, but there is also a prominent art dealer in London by the same name who runs the Roman Black Gallery. I don't know much about him. He used to have his gallery open to the public, but I think it is now just his main business office. Perhaps some of our British members may know more about him, and whether he collects edged weapons.
