David, thank you for the kind words and comments. I have corrected the spelling of warangan. And yes, this sword lives with me now. I am most grateful to the previous owner for parting with it and having kept it so well for ~70 years.
There is a large amount of silver (probably sterling silver or similar grade) on the hit and pendok. I have not had it tested yet. Total silver by weight has been estimated at about 220–240 grams.
