I doubt whether the two huge bearing swords actually are in Torino although I found them in the same photo stream.

If I recall correct the two huge bearing swords are in the Tower of London. They are well over 2 meters each

Actually, the roundel with the many flintlock pistols is at the Royal Armouries Leeds (second from bottom).
