Tatyana, nice to see you here. You have gotten yourself a nice tulwar, but you know this already, from the posts, and from your own knowledge, as you are not someone who lets ‘all the steam’ off at one time, which is a good idea, as it attracts more posts – and maybe more information’s

.

I have a hilt decorated in almost the same way, it is however slim and diamond shaped without a hand guard. The decoration on you hilt is nicely done, and I like the decoration on the inside of the hand guard. I have one or two decorated in the same way. Interesting flower on the disc. Personally I would not do anything more about the blade, as I like these blades a lot, although Rand has a point, not all blades were meant to be etched, but then again, we don’t know where the Indians draw the line, so to say. Very nice photographs. Congratulations
