Thanks Galvano.
Do you by any chance have any thoughts on this very interesting tulwar? Have you done any research on its possible origins? |

Hi Jens,
Absolutely breathtaking tulwar you have posted!!! weapons of this quality have become your trademark!!! The motif that encircle the inner disc of the pommel dish seem floral rather than solar, although in the circling fashion in the same manner. Can you identify the flowers in the upper part of the disc? They seem different than the motif underneath and on the grip. The example you post reminds me of the architectural influences often seen on Indian weapons, the varying structure of the pommel cap associated with the stupa. All the best, Jim |

hello Jim
For me its Indian blade
I do not see the stamp well. The blade is thick and heavy. In the hand the sword is unbalanced and heavy towards the blade. galvano |
