Pity there were no photographers in the 16th century, David; but there were painters and chroniclers to leave us images ... and history

.

By the way ...

It is admittable that, the Javanese features & attire as in the watercolor executed by a naive artist of the period, do not correspond as whole to reality but, the use and purpose of the keris is as precise as described by Tomé Pires (1465-1540) and Fernão Lopes de Castanheda (1500-1559)

I was searching cameroonese pictures for something completely different, but I thought those might still be interesting.

Neat. Bet those guys could shot the eye out a bug from 70 yards.
Curious, what's the sword the guy on the right in the first pic is carrying?

Lavian Riflemen, AKA "strelniki"

Part of the Russian Imperial Army, in WW I about 30.000 men around 1917
Some later joined the Bolshevik revolution and hence its army
The majority remained in Latvia to protect the country due to an internal strugle and instability,
caused by 3 governments fighting for control ( German, Sovjet and Latvian) untill Latvia's independance 1920/22
