Lord Egerton of Tatton
In the book Indian and Oriental Arms and Armour by Lord Egerton of Tatton, is a nice plate with a number of Toradars.
I will see if I can post it. |

I have that book and agree...nice pic in Egerton's book. There are other books also with nice pics of Toradors amongst other types. Tirri's ISLAMIC WEAPONS and Elgood's FIREARMS OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD to name a couple. Stu |

I suppose you have cleaned off the steel parts as much as you are going to.
If you intend to do more, might I suggest bronze wool along with automotive automatic transmission fluid? Well, your favorite oil may be OK. ATF is a cleaner, also. Let it soak for a few days. |

Thanks for your suggestion. I have (I think) cleaned the steel/iron as far as I want to go without losing the patina. I had not thought of auto transmission fluid as a "solvent" but a good idea. I will try that on the other gun when I get to it. I ALWAYS use brass/bronze brushes as they are of course softer metal than steel and do not scratch. Stu |

The hooks are far too heavy and too visible. IMHO they detract from the look of the guns. I use L shaped cup hooks with neoprene tube slid over the hook part so that there is no metal to metal, or metal to wood contact. I use a size JUST big enough to hold the guns. Also they are in a SECURE place. I would question the nature of what I see here, and I assume the readily visible placement of your display. SECURITY IS NON EXISTANT HERE....... I have attached a pic of some of my stuff and you will see that the mounting hooks are virtually invisible. Stu |
