Tulwar or Khanda

Radu Transylvanicus · 23rd April 2005, 09:14 PM

One of the best Sikh websites i`ve seen (unfortunatelly when I tried the link, it has fallen now ) reffered to this type as ,,Southern Indian Talwar,, and the symbols on it point to Sikh origins as far as the age, thats a whole new story ...
Sorry to disapoint those that were expecting a very exotic name to match with this unusual piece...
And ANDY ! Since you are in London you can take a picture to a Sikh temple and ask nicely to have one of the seniors take a look at it . The sword is SIKH for sure !
