Do you have a pic of the museum plaques identifying and dating the swords?

I am particularly interested in the first pic, the patissas/khandas with the Old Indian handles ( not the basket ones).

Are the images from the Odisha State Museum? When I was there I could not find any weapons on display, but some exhibitions was being reorganized.

Did you also visit the tribal museum? They had some interesting tribal weapons on display but unfortunately photos was not allowed.
