Those pictures do not represent the generality; i just 'borrowed' them from some web site, to give an illustrated idea of the weapons fineness in this collection.
It includes items from Morocco (3), Turkey (9), Persia/Iran (9), India (55), Sri Lanka (4), Nepal (1), China (2), Japan (5), Indonesia/Malaysia (20), Philippines (1), representing armoury and edged weapons, mainly swords and daggers, from the XVI to the XX centuries.
