The few oriental arms in this collection. Among them the sword and pistol of Marco Botzaris, the Greek-Souliote hero of Greek revolution (1821).
Τhe lighting was desperately low.

The room with the Asian stuff is extremely dark to take good photos.
Below are the two best that I could edit.
You can also see more European weapons in this thread:

I've been in there… The lighting is all HORRIBLE. It's like a "nocturnal animal" exhibit at the zoo. You can barely see anything. I don't know if they're saving money or preventing people from taking photographs.
