Asian & Oriental Arms — Class XXX (FLAG: confirm vs Firearms) — 19th century
About this product
About this collection
This collection covers 5 objects from the 19th century catalogued under Class XXX, delivered across 10 images in 4 ZIP assets. These objects carry the standard Class XXX classification flag — provisionally assigned to Asian and Oriental Arms but potentially reclassifiable to Firearms pending specialist review.
Why it matters
The small number of 19th-century Class XXX objects reflects the specific historical context of these acquisitions — objects acquired in the Victorian period when classification methodologies were still developing, or pieces whose dual-tradition character creates genuine classification ambiguity.
