Hi Rivkin,

Some of these weapons are in the Moser Collection in Bern – not on exhibition at the moment. Moser who was Swiss lived with his patents in Sct. Petersburg. His father was a watchmaker, and even made watches for Faberge. The young Moser found it boring to make watches, so when he had finished school in Switzerland he joined the Russian army. As he found this boring too, he started to travel in Russia and Caucasus, buying weapons and other things, while he was employed in different places now and again. Some of the swords he got for a bottle of VodkaJ.

Well, Lord Elgin paid even less for the Marbles

I wonder whether some day Georgians might request to get their national treasures back.
