Here are a group of interesting weapons from Junagarh Fort, on either side are what has to be the largest ankus I have seen.

Hi estcrh,

The Mahouts must have arms like Tarzan and I feel sorry for their elephants.

The weapons in that case are interesting, I have not seen some of them before. The Smiths were certainly good at their jobs.
