And how do you feel about the opinion of Rawson, who believes that the basket hilt form is of Indian origin? "The Hindu Basket hilt was developed in the West Deccan round about 1500 AD. It is a formal development from the Old Indian, in that the fundamental pattern of grip, guard, seating process and pommel is preserved " |
