Wow, so jealous! Lovely and definitely a kastane. Fully native blade 18th? No imported European "junk" here
 Is that a double-edged blade?!Congrats! |

This truly is a handsome example of what appears to be an 18th century kastane, and it is unusual to see these without the usual trade hanger blades. The decorative forte block suggests this was for a figure in Ceylon with considerable influence, the detail in motif is outstanding.
Very nice!! Congratulations!! |
