Further to Runjeets excellent post, recall & research, about Charles rather wonderful & rare shield.

There is a website that lists many items in the Royal collection.

The photos will magnify...

There actually 4 listed Maharaja of Kapurthala shields with riveted animals.

The Maharaja of Bundelkhand shield. Rather Different style but I love it!...

As an aside Here a link to the British royal familys kukris on the website.. . But the search function for anything will work from there...

Its a great website for collectors of many pieces...

{Just type in Ruby, Ivory, sword whatever... Thieve got it all...}
