Happy new year all
i think Elgood call them khanda because the hilt is a khanda style. Firangi means only Franks, Crusaders or strangers Because the blades were imported from Europe. But like you Marius I would call this sword a firangi. Ken your sword is very very beautiful, please send us a zoom on the ricasso and also the marks... The hole was used to fix a previous hilt...I'm just kidding. Kubur

Hi All
Thanks for information I will hopefully turn up a spatulated tip sword to get a definite Khanda But these have eluded me so far in my hunting. I am v happy all round with this find though and the Indian weaponry collection is expanding nicely. I need more Dhals though here again are in short supply in Ireland I have attached some further pictures but I am unable to get any improvement on the blade markings you will see more of the remenant gold on these images Kind regards Ken |
