Nineteenth Century Gunflints from the Nepalese ArmoryInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 23 - Trang 628-650 - 2019
John C. Whittaker, Anais Levin
A sample from a stockpile of gunflints discarded by the Nepalese military in the early to middle 1800s shows that although Nepal obtained most of its munitions from Britain, the situation was complex.
