I have decided to buy the tulwar.
To smoothen the price, i had to swap a silver ball pen i didn't use.
The blade is quite thick, some period sharpening is noticed, the patina is quite intense. It realy looks like a real fighting piece.
There isn't much to add in terms of pictures; i just took some more close ups of the langet repair, which i find most reasonable for the period.
But while i was considering what pictures to take, my cat Adrian decided to come around and fell asleep right there. It just reminded me that the Prophet Mohamed once, wanting to stand up from his bed, has cut off a part of his jelaba sleeve, to avoid disturbing his cat's sleep.
All the best
