Picked this up last month. A nice old and in fairly shape katar from the south of India. The blade must have been cut down from the forward third of a European blade you can see the fuller on it. There are still some traces of gold koftgari still present.

Hi Lew,
Try some WD40, that may help. Interesting that the side guards are profiled. Jens |
