I have been looking in my books but not found any other Bhelhetahs.
The hilt shown in Egerton's book, and the hilt on the one you show from the museum in Kota seems to be the same. Egerton does, however, write that it is a sword, and I cant imagine he would write so if the 'blade' was like a haft.
I cant explain this to you, and I have never seen such a weapon. Let's hope some of the members can help.
