Default Khanda Questions
Questions, regarding this badly abused blade. Is this an Indian or Firangi blade? The blade is short 23 inches and has been reshaped, etc. The blade shows two definite sharp bends and realignment. Were Indian swords ever ritually bent and purposely damaged?
Traces of silver work are evident all exposed areas of the basket are engraved. Was this blade just a bad marriage?
Interested to hear your comments. Steve
