Asian & Oriental Arms — Class XXX (FLAG: confirm vs Firearms) — 21st century
About this product
About this collection
This is the first of two product sets covering 21st-century Class XXX objects, comprising 113 items across 246 images in 35 ZIP assets. These objects carry the same classification flag as the 20th-century Class XXX product — provisionally assigned to Asian and Oriental Arms pending review against the Firearms classification.
Why it matters
The 21st-century Class XXX set demonstrates that classification challenges are an ongoing feature of a working national museum collection — as new objects are acquired, their classification is subject to the same scrutiny and potential revision as earlier holdings.
