Can you source nital in the Netherlands as a private person? Here in Germany I have been trying to buy it several times, but not been able to without being associated with a lab.

Thank you for the replies!

I haven't even noticed that there are two Bikaner-specific lines present in that whole jumble. Perhaps the sword was 'on loan' for a while and had to be reshelfed when...

True, though usually there is only a sigle inscription. This one has a whole lot more written on it, it would be great to find out more about it.

A Rajput Tulwar for comment and help with translation (again)

Hi all, I have another piece to share, this time a nice tulwar sword.
It is probably familiar to some of you because it has been sitting on a well known dealer's site for quite a while before I...

On that note, look what I just now found while semi-randomly browsing around on instagram.
I find this rather interesting, the only variation is with the characters in the upper right corner. Maybe...

Yep, that picture is better than the one on their website. I think I photographed this one out of one of Robert Elgood's books.

I actually sifted through my refererence picture collection when I got the sword months ago to compare it to other examples.

True, that's why I was sure it actually had some meaning. Perhaps it's just nonsensical, made by someone illiterate in the script. I'm pretty sure I have seen indian blades with meaningless...

Okay, with a whole lot of fiddling I think I managed to trick my cell phone camera into being a bit less crappy for a second, but I don't know if it is enough :shrug:

Another translation request of a stamp on a pulwar blade

Since I got such a quick and expert response on my last post here is another head scratcher.

It concerns a pulwar with a well made blade, which I believe was made in northern India. Besides some...

You are right, it's also not quite completely formed. That only leaves the sign on the left of that unaccounted for, which looks a bit like a 'jim' form letter connecting into the border of the...

I think the extra dot belongs to the 'nun' from Khuqandi and has just wandered off to the side.



Thank your for the write-up, I will have to read up on that.

Thanks!
I do not think that the blade is cut down, take a look at this example from Czerny's (also re-sold on oriental-arms recently), which has an identical arrangement of the fullers.
I agree on...

Afghan Pesh Kabz

Hello,

I offer a simple Afghan Pesh Kabz with its scabbard.
I am uncertain about the grip scales, the fill in at the pommel end makes me think it is bone, but I do not see any vascular channels,...
