Long time coming...A wootz kukri.
After some 13 years, ones rolled into to my small but interesting collection of kukri. 16 inch blade, T spine Crystaline wootz over entire surface on both sides. 5 inch hilt. Remnants of koftgari left on hilt. I am guessing early 19th century, I would assume Sikh? quite possible from Lahore area? But all info,thoughts & comments welcome... Spiral ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Fantastic piece, nice find.
That type wootz typical for N. India. Koftgari hard to see but looks like Rajasthan motif. Overall length? |

Hi Ward & all
Finally got some decent photos of the Kofgari... {whats left of it.} To be seen life size one has to take screen magnification down to 20%. ![]() I think there poppies? Many thanks, Spiral Last edited by spiral; 31st July 2014 at 10:45 PM. |
