Dear Charles,

Can you throw some light onto the situation with this weapon … In your opener you said these two weapons were virtually of the same name and clearly they are the same design. Who was first onto the battlefield with the Partizan .. The Sri Lankans or the Portuguese. Assuming that the Portuguese were there as the first of the Europeans? No one has ever stated the clearly obvious fact that the two are originally the same weapon and that the Sri Lankans simply copied the weapon....
