Pix: Guns 'n Khuks

Very enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share those. Is it a very big deal to convert old Webleys to fire common cartridges?

The Webley .455/476 revolver cylinder can be shaved, by a knowledgeable gunsmith, to allow the use of .45 ACP (with full-moon clip). I stick with 200 Gr. lead semi-wadcutter loads (no +P kind of hot loads). And, of course, any old war horse ought to be checked over by a good gunsmith. It’s a hoot to shoot! You also need a khuk on the belt for proper balance :D. Thanks everyone for your comments.
 
see now Dean? I thought that was very clever of you. I admit to being somewhat twisted.

Thanks. Very cool old big bore.
 
I'm very confident your pix of the Pappy Memorial khuk will be marvelous.

I hope the administration at Bladesforums get the snafu fixed so that Yvsa and I can view the photos. Geeze, send them to me email if I still can't access them here!

Those pix are terrific. I really like grouping things together and here is a shot I hope to stick in the book.

Mr Powell,

Beneath the kuk and above the saber, there are two knives, or a knife and a sword, what type of weapon are they?

I had a friend that has similar ones, but I've forgotten what they were called.
 
This short sword is generally referred to as Khyber Swords or daggers. They vary greatly in quality and were workhorse weapons in Afghanistan along with a type of pesh kabz often mistakenly called a choora.

John,

Thanks for sharing. Some exquisite compositions and groupings highlight some truly fine blades, beautifully. I also like groupings, but still have a lot to learn about getting the composition right, to retain the focus and not get the subject lost in the clutter. Your pictures, like your collection, are an inspiration. :D:D:D
 
Nice pics! That is a fine looking 1918 khukuri. 45/70 is a helluva caliber. Thanks for showing them to us.
