Okay guys here is the first set of pictures. These pictures were taken in the main entrance hall of the museum. There are some rather nice swords there, but I was so excited to be heading to the armor exhibit upstairs that I negligently forgot to make notes about these swords. I'll have to let the pictures speak for themselves. I did a better job later...
This is a picture of a nice cut and thrust sword with a complex hilt and a venetian shiavona
This is a picture of the shiavona's hilt
This is a picture of a pair of rapiers.
This is a picture of some Indian and Persian weaponry. Included are a crystal handled dagger (ceremonial?) and an odd stilleto.
Detail of the talwar showing the scalloped/serrated edge.
