My first tulwar

Tim Simmons · 28th September 2005, 10:15 PM

Hi, I do not know much about these weapons but it looks like a general talwar which could come from anywhere N.S.E.W in the India subcontinent. I love that, found in a barn, we get it in the UK to, sometimes the most extraordinary alien weapons and often not very old, just in really bad condition. Saying that it looks not bad, shame there is no scabbard, I have yet to find one that will open my wallet, I am a Meany though

How about some better (in focus) pictures Teodor ; details like the hilt , ricasso , close up of the blade .

No ricasso could indicate a Persian blade .
Many native blades were triple fullered .

I got my first tulwar a few weeks ago and i'm very pleased with it. A triple fullered blade sounds very interesting, it's a pity the sword has been so badly abused though. I agree with the statement above, more photos please.

Thank you all for the responses. I tried to take a few more detailed pictures. With the set of photographic skills and equipment I have, this is he best I can do, sorry for the low quality.
The sword actually came with an ugly, woooden, yellowish cloth covered scabbard that does not fit and is certainly not original to the weapon, and this is the reason I have not included it in the pictures. Anyway, I have attached pictures of the hilt, the pommel, the ricasso, or what is remaining of it, and the blade at its widest point.
