Kashmiri Sword and Guns, 1884

by Labels: , , , ,

Came across these in a German work titled 'Aus dem westlichen Himalaya: Erlebnisse und Forschungen' by  Károly Jenö Ujfalvy (1884). All these specimen appear to be from Bhaderwah. In Kashmir, the art of gunmaking was introduced during era of Afghan rule. Best of the gunsmiths had shops at Nawatta in Srinagar. There still remain some old makers at Bandook Khar Mohalla, Rainawari (Gunsmith Lane) of the town.
