If you could dig up the details Chris, that would be great

Sorry to keep clogging this thread with more waffle, if I wasn't still in modded status I'd have tried to edit it all into one post.
Just discovered that Riyasata means something like Principality. So the last two characters are the key. If you can get a clearer pic it might be possible to establish which Principality it came from. |

Silver John that is brilliant work, many thanks indeed!
I will give the thing a good once over to clean the gunk out, and get back to you with better images. Kind regards, Chris |

Silver John,
No problem at all - I am glad you corrected me, that is what the forum is for - or am I mistaken :-). Jens |

Hi Silver John,
I owe you an apology I think: I keep forgetting to check up the thread for your moderated posts to appear, therefore I have missed some of your posts. I apologise if it seemed as though I was ignoring your contribution, it is indeed much appreciated! Attached are some additional images of the crest. The quality is slightly dubious, due mostly to the rollercoaster which is British summertime! I am happy to try again if they are not up to snuff! Kind regards, Chris |

Thanks for the clearer pictures. To me it looks like the fifth character is Tha + either I or O. Because of the way the bar at the top is squashed it's very hard for me to tell which it's supposed to be. It could be something else entirely though. The character for the aspirated retroflex Dha looks roughly similar, could be a poor version of that? My best guess is Ri Ya Sa Ta Thi/Tho Ta. No Idea what that last bit could mean though! I've attached some images, so you can decide for yourself. |

This example was carried by Jacobs Horse.
It was manufactured by Wilkinson sword. One side was signed with their name in English, the other in Hindi. (Advertising is advertising!) Note the similarities to the hilt of the British 1853 pattern. Kind regards, Chris |
