How fabulous, even if weapons are not your thing.

Million thanks! Could you show this display too?

A wonderful "virtual" tour!

Many thanks indeed for taking the time to post these images.

Kind regards,

Chris

What fantastic pics and so nice to see things so well maintained...although all the sword IN their scabbards make me wonder about their upkeep.

Thanks so much for sharing these...there is no reference better then pictures!!

Lucky for us that you, either ignored, or did not see the sign

asomotif · 6th January 2016, 10:32 PM

When I went, photographing permitted, without flash of course. (Αnd the museum staff was always with us, if you went there you can understand what I mean.)

And Mercenary, no photo, only zoom.

Post #6, the lowest panel: their famous yataghan resembling the Suleiman's examples.
I have seen it being mentioned in passing as Persian. But I doubt...

Hi Sylektis,

I was there in 2013 and only took a few snapshots, under the impression that pictures where not allowed.
Next time I will surely make some more pictures :-)

Also the pace of the guided tour was sometimes too fast for me.
I could have wandered there for hours ;-)

Once more, thanks for sharing.
