Anglo-Indian Knives

This has nothing to do with the "better" discussion, Im just adding som eye-candy. I was sitting looking through some vacation photos from last year. I went to Hallwylska museet in Stockholm. It has very impressive collection of european weapons, but also some interesting ones frome other parts of the world. The collection was testamented to the Swedeish state in 1920 and the museum opened in 1938.

When looking at the photos I discovered one of these Anglo-Indian knives. Since it is part of the collection I am asuming that it was collected before 1920.

Im also adding some more photos from the museum as a bonus.

Drabant:

Thanks so much for adding those pictures. The example that you post of an Anglo-Indian knife is again of the somewhat curved, pesh kabz, variety. These do seem to be the more "valued" form of these knives.

The rest of what is shown is pretty spectacular in its quality. Thanks again for sharing these pics.
