The hilt if was done in Afghanistan is not original and may have been added later in its life as a repair I think this would have been rehilted or came from Southern India due the monster head on the end of the hilt? Here are some examples of hilts for you to compare. Lew Attached Images Last edited by Lew; 14th June 2012 at 07:16 PM.
