Child's katar decorated in gold

Nice Katar, what is the width between the guards? This one I thought was tiny
and perhaps if not for a boy, maybe a woman at court. Pant mentions, that kards were also used by women. This one is 1 7/8" between the guards, 13" OAL with a 7 1/4" blade. My XX glove size dwarfs this hilt. realizing that some Indian groups are very fine boned, I still find this grip very small for use. Lew I also bid on the one you cited. Steve
