Indian armoury marks

Hi Jim,

As far as I know, the Tanjore armoury did not mark their weapons. At least I have never seen nor heard about any markings, and as there are enough weapons around, without an armoury mark; weapons known to have been in the armoury, it is fairly sure that they did not mark them. This may sound strange as it was not a small armoury, and I don’t know how they made sure that the weapons supposed to be there actually were there, but maybe someone one day will find the answer on a dusty shelf in British Library.
