Hi Jim
I appreciate the welcome to the forum and thank you for both your confirmation and also the extra knowledge.
I will put it with a companion 1796 LC, maybe they met previously in less friendly encounter.
Best regards
Ken

You bet Ken!!!
Sounds like a great pairing, and important to note that after these wars, the Sikhs became one of the most vital warrior groups in many British regiments in India, along with of course, the Gurkhas.

Originally in my early collecting days I focused on British cavalry swords, and became fascinated by the ethnographic weapons of colonial regions, especially India, and always had my weapons together grouped with the campaigns they were in.

Looking forward to hearing more on your collecting and acquisitions!

All the best,
Jim
