Up until now because of other commitments (wife, 2 children and mortgage) I've limited myself to books and browsing sites such as this one and have avoided collecting.
However I aquired my first piece of Ethnographic weaponry today, mainly because it was cheap!
It is a 19th century tulwar hilt (allegedly).
It fits my ungloved hand very nicely. I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall and weigh 15 stone.
BTW any advice as to how genuine this piece is and how to care for it would be much appreciated.
