That is great news indeed. The only book I have on the Islamic and Indian weapons in the Wallace Collection is a 1914 catalogue by Guy Laking, but it isn't illustrated.

Does the catalog also feature only partial views of swords, like the book does?
I just finished reading the book, and it's fascinating, but the failure to include the photos of the whole swords and scabbards is unexplainable...

There seem to be a new catalogue coming up from the Wallace Collection.
Robert Elgood is working on it - but if it will be in one, two or more years no one seem to know.

Yes Dmitry, but still it is a very good catalogue

Thank you! I just ordered a copy for myself.
