Late Warren Mallard and George Fennell were possessed with a keen
interest in Indo-Persian arms and armour, and their respective collections
reflect a deep knowledge of the field.

Highlights include gemstone inlaid and jade hilted khanjars, some fine
wootz shamshirs, a large selection of Sheffield Bowie knives, and a
pair of extremely rare Vijayanagara royal short swords. Also, selected
volumes from their extensive libraries of out of print reference books.
