Among the firearms, there are a couple of cases with accessories such as powder flasks, holsters, etc.

If you like Islamic and especially Ottoman long guns, well, they certainly have some nice ones at the Askeri.

The last few halls on the first floor have some smaller artillery pieces, along with bows and arrows.

The first floor ends with some javelins and spears. The second floor is dedicated to the post-Ottoman period and the formation of the Turkish state and army, and as such there are fewer ethnographic items here.

Still, there are some and so it is worth it going up the stairs to look for them.

This is the end of the journey through the museum, finishing with some of the bombards in the courtyard. Hope you enjoyed it!
