- Scope & Content:
-
The file consists of regular statistical reports on the price of European-manufactured weapons within the North-West Frontier Province [Khyber Pakhtunkhwa], as well as statistics and assessments on the fighting strength of the tribes within the province.

- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the last folio with 341; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An external leather cover wraps around the documents; the front inside of the cover has been foliated as f 1; the back of the external cover has therefore not been foliated. A previous foliation sequence, which is present between ff 2-340 and is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
