Hello,
Recently got the Afghan Pulowar in the photos attached.
As I would like to learn more about it, any comments/opinions would be welcomed especially pertaining the blade.
Regards,
Marius

poor thing, it needs TLC and feeding to recover from the trauma of it's past life. i recommend sending it to me immediately so i can hug her and squeeze her and fuss over her. i'd return her eventually, i promise. shouldn't take more than a few decades or so. i'd not even charge you for her room and board.

anyway, have to go get a towel to wipe the drool off my keyboard. she's gorgeous whatever her past.

I am sure your message would have made proud the swordsmith who made it!

But what do you think: European or Indian blade?!
