New enough, long enough, written in neutral manner, cited, no copyvio issue found. Image has an appropriate copyright status. Hook is interesting found in the article and cited, but I'm having trouble verifying it. I found the books talking about Login and Duleep Singh, but I haven't managed to find a passage that specifically talk about Login's guardianship of the Koh-i-Noor diamond. Probably because the page numbers used in the citations are very broad, verification is not that easy. Would you mind quoting the relevant passage, or updating the citations to use more specific page numbers? QPQ not yet done. Thank you.
