New sword
 

Just got it. The seller brought it from Nepal, where it was stored close to the chimney.

It is obviously a Nepalese one with the original scabbard. But the blade is a Sossun Pattah! It cannot be a re-made Kukri or a Kora because the scabbard fits it like a glove, there is no "cho" and the point is intact.
So... We have here a third variety of Sossun Pattah: the Rajput (Hindu), the Mughal (Islamic) occasionally known as Sailaba and a third one, Nepalese.
BTW, should I polish it or would you leave it patinated?

I wondered who wound up with that baby .
Great score Ariel !
Is the blade pitted at all ; active rust ?

Oh yes , more pictures please of the close up variety .

Well Ariel, you really got yourself a special sword. I wonder if they called it a Sossun Pattah in Nepal?

Please let us have some more pictures and some measurers as well.

How old do you think it is?
