an other sword from my collection..

[dralin23]

i will show you also an other intresting sword from me. it is an pahari sword ore sometime also as an cobra sword known.
intresting for me was that it is mounted with an khanda basket hilt. as usual these sword was mounted with an pouluar hilt. an similar sword you can see in the book from g.n. pant. indian arms an armour vol.2 plate CXIV.
there was such an sword with an khanda hilt descr. as an 16.th.ct. sword from utar pradesh. in hindu arms and ritual you can also see such an pahari sword but only with an pouluar hilt from the end of the 18.th. ct. i think these sword was made as an realy fighting weapon. the blade is stought, with an strong point.the lenght over all is 93cm, the blade is 76cm, wide before the bulged 5cm and the diameter from teh bulged is 10cm.
i know not much over the history from these word. i don´t also know how old is it. i think it isn´t from the 19.th ct. the most pahari swords i´ve seen before was from these time, but i think the mounted hilt is older and i think it is in the original condition. the glue between the hilt and the blade shows very old an original. what think you over these sword? i hope someone can tell me more!!
