Hi Fenris,
I'll comment of the pouluar if I may. It looks like a very nice laminated blade...I wonder about the types of pattern welding done in India. We know the patterns of crystalline crucible steel, the pattern welded Turkish ribbon, but are there any named laminations in India? When you get it, look for any stamps pf the quillions and at the forte....
I like it, and I am looking for one to add to my collection...well any Indian tulwar will do actually, I like them a lot. Too bad the scabbard is missing on yours.

Hi Fenris,
A bit of oil really brought the shield to life didn't it?!

RE. the pulour, I missed you posting this one, and very nice too!
(missed seeing it on e-bay or may have given you a run on it!!)

Hope to find a similar example some time. Very nice, Congrats!
