Period Photos of People with Ethnographic Arms
Since the thread with period photos of Sahel region warriors was well received, I thought why not start a general thread on historic photos of people with ethnographic arms.
I often come across old photos from all across the world and it could be nice to maintain a general thread to share these important records of a past time. I'll start off with this photo. Perhaps we can all try to keep a similar format of information about each photo to make things easy to read?  Where: Tunis. When: 1931. Who: A eunuch guarding a harem gate. Weapons visible: A nimcha. Source if known: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationa...n/photostream/ |

Oh I'm so sorry, that's other sultan, the original photo dates back to 1938 so am I right that's Said bin Taimur?
P.S. Ah, I see your reply now, thanks! |

I collected these while researching Chinese Dao, all out of copyright as far as I know. Between 1900 and 1950 for the most part.
