Well chaps, The little Pata may be about 3 ft long as I seem to remember.
The sword has writing or squiggle patterns anyway

& carved animal figures as I recall.
Hers some more unusual pieces!
Kora & a sword {khanda I guess?}with a 6ft plus blade!
Cheers for the history lesson & legal perspective guys!
