Hi Marcus and RobT,
Here is the link http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=Sailaba
I find it interesting, be course it shows that the different weapons were called different names, according to where in India they were used.

Sorry Marcus, very welcome to the forum - I do hope you are an Indian freak, and congratulation with you 'new' sword.

Ariel, I am not quite sure, you may be right that the Sailaba has a 'T' spine more pronounced than the sousan patta. I am not quite sure of this, as I have only seen an bad picture of the sword, and I think that the name Sailaba comes from Turkey, not from India – originally.

Jens
