Hello dear members,
I wanted to share with you this big talwar / thega sword that I just received, seems it was made for fight , it has ( sadly) marks/cracks on the blade.!... I have to clean it... I'ts a long one, 95cm / 37,5 inches long and heavy, 1,3kg / 2,9 pounds Is it usual to see such long/ large pieces ? the seller told me it was more than one meter long but it's still a nice catch ![]() The large blade has a yelman, the thick blade structure is really thin and sharp after the yelman at the end/tip of the blade. The hilt seems made of a single iron piece and there is an interesting stamp at the basis of the blade, does anyone know where it can come from ? An old mughal model ? 19th or 18th century ? Kind regards |

Hi
Nice item alright but mine is bigger ;-) see this thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=26169 They would be a good pairing. There are no markings on mine at all. I have since cleaned it up and should put up a few pictures, there is some information on the thread I started about possible origins of such large swords also. Regards and keep well, Ken |

Does anybody know the ''flower'' stamp of the blade ?
a family / regional stamp or an arsenal mark ? For the blade, do you think an etching can be useful ? |
