Lac Léman & Lac de Neuchatel: weapons
Posted by moscarelliAug 29
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…
