I THOUGHT PERHAPS A POST WITH SEVERAL PICTURES OF DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF WEAPON MIGHT BE INTERESTING. I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO THOSE MUCH MORE KNOWLEGABLE IN THIS FIELD TO FILL IN THE HISTORY AND DETAILS OF THIS WEAPON. EXAMPLES ARE TO BE FOUND IN INDIA, PERSIA AND OTHER COUNTRYS IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. MOSTLY I ASSUME THE ORIGINAL WAS A SWORD ZULFKAR SPLIT INTO TWO POINTS NEAR THE TIP BUT THERE SEEM TO BE MANY VARIATIONS IN FORM AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF POINTS. THERE ARE ALSO DAGGERS. I WILL POST A FEW PIC'S TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY INTREST OR PICTURES FROM OTHER MEMBERS FORTH COMING.
