Last year I have to remember a very nice trip to Florence.
Thus, I must share with you Stibbert museum. I wish you a happy new year, and wonderful trips. |

Thanks for sharing! Only a pity so many swords are hiding their blades inside the scabbards.

There are some breath taking swords there but the Bukhara Sabre, although not the most divine sword there, would suffice for me :-)
Thank you for taking the time to share. Gavin |

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.

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... Last edited by ariel; 7th January 2016 at 11:25 PM. Reason: found a typo |

[QUOTE=Sylektis]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.)
QUOTE] 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. |

It seems that their policy has changed.
Also to Ufizzi you can now take pictures. It was a pleasant surprise for me, because all the guidebooks saying otherwise. ![]() |

I think it is interesting that they paired the pata (plur. s?) with the rifles. I've never seen a pata as a wholly practical offensive weapon. But come to think of it. I don't think I can recall any such rifles as these having bayonets. Is it possible that the pata could be armed on the supporting hand for a rifle, and used to stabilize aim; Then if attacked between reloads, used in the same manner that a bayonet would be?
