Just finished on Ebay...a KATAR

[indiablade]

Hello Members
I am the guy [lightingray]who listed all the said katars talked about in the forum.
Yes i do have a load of tulwars about 150 in my office right now most of them are rusty but will clean up quite easy.
A few of the blades have engraving and armoury marks.
Some have realy nice hilts and outhers nice blades and easy to swap over as in india tar or ceiling wax was often used to fix a blade.
I am disapionted with ebay for banning the sale of oversized ethnic tableware on there site but i do now know a lot of collectors worldwide who buy from myself.
Any members who wish to buy can contact me. [not to certain if this is allowed]
Well i hope this has cleared up the mystery.

All the best indiablade

Welcome, indiablade. Offers of items for sale may be placed in the "swap forum," but are generally to be avoided in these general discussion forums. I expect your tulwars would find some interest.

I bought a plain katar once at the London Arms Fair, very much "munitions grade" with the armor piercing point. There were some numbers stamped on the hilt which I presumed were military until I saw similar marks on something entirely different in Ewart Oakeshott's collection and discovered these were accession numbers for the old display at the Rotunda at Woolwich...
