Well, have a look for yourselves.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, had toyed with using the handle on something else, but doesn;t seem likely now. Oh, and if its for something ghastly I'll be getting rid of it for sure!
Will try and clean it up and post some clearer pictures.

Just can't kick the idea that its s.e.a, and not Indian.
