For comments, or just to show off my entire collection. Saw just one that appealed both to my wallet & I, here it is. The dealer says it is from South India - Srirangam or Tanjore, late 16th century, with a yali hood termination. The point is reinforced to penetrate chain mail.
I'm really an antique firearm collector. Somehow I acquired a growing interest in Indian weapons. A bit uneasy about displaying cold arms, no matter what I do they are always loaded. Last edited by JamesKelly; 9th August 2014 at 09:12 PM. |

Peacocks?
Well, I suppose you jest, but you have an amazing eye, to recognize a stylized peacock (your 5 Jan '05 blade, 8 Oct '14 note to Runjeet http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Katars http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Katars ) I don't know which is the peacock in either of those If there are any here, might you point them out? |

Ok have a look at this picture, and tell me that you dont see two peacocks.
I would recommend you to get books on the subject. I have six or seven meters of them, so there are enougt to choose from. A real/interested collector will buy books on the subject of interest, and not always rely on the answers given on a forum. Jens Last edited by Jens Nordlunde; 10th August 2014 at 04:58 PM. |

Frankly, whenever I see a post on Indian arms/armour, it is Jens' responses I most look forward to reading... ![]() |
