I have been meaning to post this for a while.
I remember from a previous thread that it is pronounced differently by the Coorgs, but it took me years to learn how to spell it this way, so I'm not changing now

Blade is 19 1/2 cm long and almost 5 mm thick along the back
Overall length is 33 cm
All very thick silver mounts.
The chain itself is a work of art. Solid silver except for the "grooming " tools at the end.
Any thoughts on age ?
I bought it in 91 from an antiques dealer in England. Unfortunatey he had no idea of how or when it arrived here.

All comments appreciated
Regards
Royston
