an other Pata sword
 

this is an other Indian sword i bought in the last year. these sword was mounted with an nice slimm european rapier blade. i don´t nothing about the exactly origin from these blade. spain, italian or maybe solingen but i think it is not an indian made blade.
at first i was surpriced because these small blade ( only 23 mm wide at the languets) but the blade wasn´t much wider. i found an similar pata by holstein. there is also such am slim blade mounted in these sword.
i like these sword because it was made for use. the gauntled is made from thik sheet of steel and nicely fluted, the arm holder is very massiv. the blade is strong enough for an fight. i think it was an very good weapon.

You have posted 2 lovely Pata, this the last Indian sword type on my wish list
well done on such acquisitions.

I look forward to learning more as you have prompted me to be more proactive in my search.
