Hi,
I take some pics on PI weaponry in some Spanish Museums, in Madrid and Barcelona, and I would like to share this with all the forumites. http://photobucket.com/albums/v672/engar I didnŽt make pics about Lantaka, but if anyone are interested IŽll made some pics on it, I think that Madrid Army Museum haves 30 or 40 Lantakas. Anyway I take all the pics from the Museums rooms and I suppose that they have hundreds of weapons in their collections apart from room pieces. This morning I visited Spanish Navy Museum and they have a lot of good pieces but the donŽt permit to take pictures (like weaponry, armours, model scale boats,etc.). IŽll contact with the Museum direction to try to obatin a licence to take some pics. If anyone are interested in something in particular, made me know it. Enjoy it!! P.S.Excuse the quality of the pics, I bought my camera one week ago ![]() |

Good eye Rick...there are two more listed in photo #26.
http://photobucket.com/albums/v672/e...t=HPIM2214.jpg I was awestruck by the weaponry, literally, and especially noticed the kris with the clamshell guard, something I've never seen before. The wide range of hilts and sizes of various weapons also show that there is MUCH to the field that we are unaware of, even following authorotative texts, and I suspect many atypical pieces have been erroneously passed off as hoaxes, fakes or compilation pieces in the recent past. What a beuatiful series of photos!! Engar, thank you ever so much. Mike Last edited by Conogre; 18th February 2005 at 07:24 PM. |

Thanks Engar, now I really look forward to touring Spain again and seeing those great examples in person. Makes me wonder what's in storage and how they provenanced each artifact over three centuries.
