More very old weapons. Pix.

[Bill Martino]

Ran across this pix in the 10,000 file. My notes on the back of the picture say, "personal weapons of King Pravya Shah (1559-1570)." I assume that's when Pravya was king. This pegs these weapons as about 450 years old.

Thanks for the pix, Uncle Bill. I find the two long and slender khukuris especially interesting. Though clearly lethal weapons, they look almost delicate.

 

[Bill Martino]

Steven, maybe that is why some refer to them as "ladies' khukuris."

Love all this stuff uncle Bill. Gaddaffi has a bodyguard complete of female only in Libya.

Thanks, Jay. Maybe that's why he is still alive.
