Switzerland is famous to be a pacific country. But they know war too. Inside Grandson and Morges castles we visited two museums about military history. Here I selected some photos about some interesting pieces.


An armours row. Various types and countries.


Heavy steel on horses, the tanks of the past.


A Burgundian armour, sword and shield.


A Papal Swiss Guard uniform, the type before the actual one.


Swiss camouflage uniform. The pattern is very similar to the new Waffen-SS pattern of the 1945.


A revolver with a long, very long, barrel. Useless, I suppose.


Penetration of a modern calibre bullet inside wood.


A quadruple barrel pistol. Barrage fire of a questionable usefulness.


Cutlery guns. To eat with your weapons ready…


A daggers choice. Killing with style…
