similar presentation sword, also by Ray and Montague, and now in a Private Collection, was given by the East India Company to Lt.Col. Barry Close, in recognition of his services as Adjutant General to the Army in 1799. On this sword, however, the scenes on the shell guard are landscapes, somewhat cramped renderings of the engravings 'West View of Seringapatam from the middle of the River' and the 'North View of Seringapatam', puiblished in Robert Home's 'Select Views in Mysore Country', 1794. Baird's presentation sword, together with his gold medal, are displayed in the Scottish National War Museum, Edinburgh Castle. The collections also include a number of objects associated with Tipu Sultan;

	ML 1932.113	A sword (talwar), said to have been found in Tipu's bedchamber, and given by the Army to Major General David Baird.
	ML 1932.152	A sword (talwar), with brass hilt and grip decorated with tigers' heads and stylised tiger stripes.
	M.1960.273	A spear with striped shaft, carried by Tipu's bodyguard.
	ML 1951-35	A sword (talwar) with a Mysore blade, inscribed 'Hai' (for Haidar Ali), which was presented by the Scotch Brigade to their Lt.Colonel, General Islay Ferrier of Belsyde. Recent research has proposed that this may have belonged to Tipu's father, Haidar Ali, rather than to Tipu himself. .
