ARIEL U NAILED IT,THE LOW RESERVES WERE THE PERFECT BAIT TO GET THE COLLECTORS INTERESTED,SUCH HIGH PRICES INDICATE THAT THERE WAS LOTS OF COMPETITION AND THE AUCTION HOUSE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING A LOT OF PEOPLE,LIKE THE CHINESE THE INDIANS ARE BUYING BACK THEIR WEAPONS AND HERITAGE AS MOST OF THE BEST ANTIQUES ARE AVAILABLE OVERSEAS .THE PRESENT INDIAN LAW NOW ALLOWS ANTIQUES EXCEEDING 100 YEARS TO BE LEGALLY IMPORTED INTO THE COUNTRY,THIS HAPPENED AFTER TIPPU SULTANS SWORD WAS BOUGHT AT AUCTION IN LONDON BY AN INDIAN BILLIONAIRE WHO LATER GIFTED IT BACK TO THE GOVT OF INDIA ,HE PAID APPROX 156,000 POUNDS.
