In Conversation with Jim McDougall — A Great Beginning to the Interview Genre

Turkoman.khan · 21st October 2025, 06:18 PM

Dear Jim,

I believe all members of this wonderful forum deeply appreciate your decades of dedication and the tremendous energy you’ve invested throughout your life in the study of Arms and Armour.

On a personal note, I’d like to encourage all members — who, I’m sure, share my great respect for you — to express their opinions in this thread about who they would like to see interviewed next.

From my side, I would love to see an interview with Jens Nordlunde, who published the remarkable book A Passion for Indian Arms nearly ten years ago. I was lucky enough to acquire a copy from a third party — truly a great piece of work.

Perhaps now is the time to give a global audience a glimpse into the story behind this fabulous collection and the passion that inspired it. I’m sure there are wonderful, unpublished stories still waiting to be told — and in my opinion, this would be the perfect moment to share them with the world.

Gentlemen, your turn now!
