Did the English make katars?

[ausjulius]

i have seen golock and parang blades with englsh marks, the blades appeared to be i drop forged , . and i of high qaluity, i still nhave one some blace a thick quite cuvy parang made by taylor eye witness. about about 1,3 cm thick at the begining of the balde and then tapering out fast
good steel to, very well made,

i have never seel a english made kris..

i suspect some of the katas ive encountered have had blade s not of indian make, but ive not observed a stamp as of yet,
i dont know of the position of the kata, as i have encountered many many old katas that were clearly made for war, not later made ones, so i suspect that they were rather a common item indeed, atleast there is asmany katas seen as.. koras or far more i would think,
i suspect that they were infact a common arm, but they must have been also used as some for of rank , just pruely becuase of the large amounts of hughly decorated ones to be found
