The India Museum (see book title) closed in 1879 and the collections were principally divided between the British Museum, Kew Gardens and the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum). It seems most likely at least some of the items from the Arms collection were transferred to the Victoria and Albert Museum. There is a catalogue available of the items transferred to the (then) South Kensington Museum https://archive.org/details/india-museum-inventory-of-the-collection-of-examples-of-indian-art-and-manufactu/page/n3/mode/2up
