The scabard is felt. there is a slight bevel to the blade, and sharp, but at the moment only fairly sharp towards the end. I'll try and post better pictures of the "scratchings" . These were reportedly purchased in India in 1906, so unlikely added after that.

thanks for your information

Hi,

I ended up responding on the previous thread and then i see these detailed pics....

But i guess you already have your answer on the script

The figures that you see on the blade are from the Hindu pantheon of gods associated with various incarnations of Lord Vishnu

The one with Mace is Balarama -- elder brother of Krishna.

The one with wings is Garuda -- The celestial vehicle of Vishnu

You are right with the one with Flute -- It is Krishna.

I'll need to dig in for details and need a lil better pic to figure out the other two.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Bhushan
