Nicely done, Eric - every board gets its trolls and it's good when they can be squashed early. |

Victor, this was an easily remembered dagger as I recently made a Pinterest board with every Indo-Persian weapon from the Met Museums collection that has images. I also created many new images from the images that are high resolution. It is a good resource. https://www.pinterest.com/worldantiques/indo-persian-weapons-from-the-metropolitan-museum-/ |
