Darn, Most of the pictures deleted already. Looks like a nice one though. Did you save any pics?
Thanks, Steve |

Nice puppy, but it doesn't look verry old. Technically it is a tulwar rather than shamshir because of the ricasso (shamshirs, doesn't have one).

I would like to know why you think that this tulwar does not look old to you? I have compared this sword with other older tulwars in my collection and would say this tulwar is late 19th century. Lew |

Poor engravings and "gilt" look of the hilt. Maybe just not of my taste...
