hi,
i cant believe there isnt more information to be offered. if not on this particular sword, but on this type in general. its not indian, and so i have never spent much time with them, but as a descendant from a very important indian form, i think they are fascinating.
jim and rick (stroud) - please step up (sorry, or anyone else?) as i would love to know more.
also, i had assumed this to be a brass hilt, as most were. but from the tang button and the detached pommel, it seems to be gilt. is this the case? what material is the hilt made from?
