I think I’ll get my husband one as a gift; Valentine’s Day?

“The Palace had a lot of old rifles too.”

I bought a few of the rifles also. A Brown Bess variant [flintlock — “cleaned” Nepalese made except for a British lock — stock a repro],”uncleaned” Brunswick and 1853 Enfield percussion pieces all Nepalese. Various “uncleaned” Martini Henry variants, some British some Nepalese. It is amazing how filthy the uncleanded rifles are. I may live long enough to clean them up but you can buy “cleaned” or “untouched.”

The kukris are in better condition. Just clean the old grease off the blades and you are left with a bit of a patina. On the ones I bought no rust whatsoever.
