Hi Rick,
Your contribution does not really add to the confusion, as far as I am concerned, as I am after the three dots, not the eye lashes  , and they apear in warious places.Last edited by Jens Nordlunde; 14th November 2006 at 09:48 PM. |

what a fine example

Thanks a lot for posting this - these marks are a wonderful hybrid. One of my thoughts was that the eyelids (eyelashes) were somehow related to the halfmoon (kauri) like maks one finds from time to time (pls. see attached). To be honest I onl found out recently about the "eyelash" meaning - I took the ones on my kukri for variations of the kauri mark when I first bought it. Your markings are amazing as the combine the "temple kauri" with the eyelashes. Outstanding ! thanks a lot for sharing - and a decent kukri as well - i'd love to see a full pic if you have the time. Kind regards Andreas |

T shaped spines?
Very nice tulwars.
Does the t-shaped spine on the first one contribute anything to its provenance? Does anyone know the origins of such a reinforcement? John |

John The "T" back spine I believe is more often seen in blades from the more northern part of India. Lew |
