THE NAGAS AND THEIR WEAPONS

I've received some convincing direct messages from others that cast further doubt on the Naga origin of this item.

It is useful to remember that the Naga were not good with iron work, much less steel. If the quality of the blade looks pretty good to you, it is likely not Naga in origin.

Unfortunately, Barry, all the data on this site appears to have been lost because the archived materials were on a now defunct web site. Nothing left of the text, pictures, videos or sound recordings. A great pity because the information collected was of high academic quality.

Another reminder of why we insist that folks upload their pictures to this site so that the rich pictorial records are preserved.

Ian is right. I tried the link and the lists work, but when getting to the picture sections and database..........nope!
