A talibon? Unusual pommel

Hello Dave,

this one was on my watch list as well. I would say that this talibon was certainly in use and don't is one of this early tourist talibons. The handle isn't so unusual you maybe think, have a look to this thread in the old forum: http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001242.html
You will see there some other with similar handles. Nice talibon!

Regards,
Detlef

Thank you Sajen. That linked thread is a gem that truly illustrates the broad variety of styles that are talibon (or garab)!

Best,

Dave A.
