Tulwar with pronounced Yelman.

Hi Norman,

It seem as if the discussion has chosen a track of its own, and I think we should try to get it back, to discuss your latest sword (see how easy it is not to mention tulwar/tegha)

.

The blades I have seen of this kind have been curved a bit more or less, but never to an extreme. The yelman can be more or less pronounced. They have no fuller or only a broad single one. They are all broad and heavy blades, and they are 17th or early 18th century blades.

Hi Jens,
To get back on track here are a few photos of the scarf weld on the blade. There is approx 3 inches separating the V welds on either side of the blade and at the sharp edge there is a very thin crack probably only becoming noticeable to the smith when the blade was sharpened The photos are of one side of the blade only. Thanks again.
My Regards,
Norman.

Thanks Norman,
Whatever you call the blade, it is a nice old one
