Last of the items bought last Sunday, a fairly typical Tulwar but with enough differences to make it worth posting here for comment and advice. At first sight mounting a western made trade blade, two narrow fullers and a long ricasso, and a western style spearpoint and false edge. It has a full length tang peened at the base of the hilt! The hilt is white metal, probably "Paktong" (白銅) or similar, and has some fine engraved decoration. I have some thoughts, but I am reserving them as I am more interested in what others have to say first.
