Vasily Vereshchagin "Indian poem"

Yes you are right Ariel, Torben mentioned the big rivets, and if he did so, that is what he meant.
I knew Torben very well years ago, and he was very presice when he was writing, so when he wrote 'big rivets' he ment that.
When Torben started to collect Bukhara weapons, he went out there to study the weapons and the art, so I suppose that he would have known about the big rivets, or he would not have mentioned them.
For some reason or other we newer discussed the Bukhara weapons, but only the Indian ones.

And many Bukharian checkers with 5 rivets on the handle really large rivets, as he wrote Torben Flindt.

But, as we have seen, we met and small rivets.

But it does not say that Torben Flindt made a mistake in his article.
