A seller who does not usually handle edged weapons had a nice group of S. Asian and S.E. Asian edged weapons from a singe collection up for sale. The items were not well described, and in the old days may have passed largely unnoticed -- not these days however. I was pleased to pick up the last one on this list, an ivory and bone (?) hilted dha with an unusual pommel.

I think some other members of this Forum may have been bidding on these items also.
