Hi Gess,

Greetings from England, and welcome to the forums.
Great display, a good selection! Nice idea 'interlacing' them.

Regards
Gene

Interesting tulwar. Does it have, or perhaps did it have, the kind of added border than one can see at khanda at times?

Ornament - one with a blade.

ariel 3rd November 2009 09:25 PM
Ha! Very interesting! Is the handle copper?
Ant the "coppery" tinge to the blade: is it real or just photographic mirage?

Gess 3rd November 2009 09:42 PM
"Сoppery" tinge to the blade is real .
But he tulwar and handle - steel (magnets).

Very interesting...
What can account for the tinge?

Is it possible that the steel was lightly copper electro plated :shrug:

Hello Gess,

Quesetion about the flyssa. Is the hilt bare wood or is it covered in some material? Usually we see these covered with brass and the ones with no brass bring up interesting questions.

Regards,
Emanuel

Shellac is sort of like varnish; a protective coating; with age it turns yellowish - brown .

Collectors used it to preserve metals in the past . :)
