For a change ...
Ariel, i wonder if you have this Elgood PDF work in your library.
Worthy of note is the different way the author uses the Firangy term; as he attributes it to the blade itself and not to the sword as a whole. Also interesting how he establishes the origin and follow up of the sickle mark. . Last edited by fernando; 8th May 2020 at 04:39 PM. |

Yes it is litteraly what it is: firangi blade = european blade
More I look at Ariel blade more I think that the mark is engraved - and not stamped - and therefore it is more likely an Indian blade...
