Greetings, A couple of individuals to be identified. 1. <http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/unknown_ruler.jpg>http://www.uq.net.au/~ zzhsoszy/ips/unknown_ruler.jpg .. any ideas who he might be. What does the writing translate as? 2. <http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/Mysteryman.jpg>http://www.uq.net.au/~zzh soszy/ips/Mysteryman.jpg .. any clues as to the identity of this man? IMHO he may not be a royal at all. The rather plain turban and the lack of medals or jewellry of any sort seems to indicate a lower social status. Cheers, Henry

It could be Raja Ranjit Singhji of Ratlam as a younger man. Cheers, Henry

Dear Henry, The first picture has 'Raja Ratlam' scribbled on it. Ratlam is a situated in central India, bordering M.P and Maharashtra. the second link does not open. In fact I had to delete the repeated http://www.uq.net.au/~ from the end of the link to open the picture. Best Wishes!
