I dont know if the katar stamp is a smiths mark or an armoury mark, but you dont see them very often.
As they, now and again, can be seen with a trisula stamp, must be pure Hindu.

Robert Elgood's next book

Robert is, at the moment writing a book on Indian guns, and I think he must be quite far with the manuscript.
At the same time he is working on a glossary on eastern arms.
