Dav HB og velkommen til Vikingsword.

I can’t help you with the kindjal’s as I collect Indian weapons, but the tulwar seems to have an old blade, well used and sharpened. Have you tried a magnet on the hilt? The hilt is likely to be newer than the blade, or maybe decorated/plated at a later date.

The search button can help you a lot, so don't forget to use it

.

Regards

Jens
