Question about Tulwar

Hi,
This thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=tulwar may shed a little light. I too was of the opinion that brass/bronze hilts were of lesser quality but possibly not quite.
Regards,
Norman.

Yes, many European swords have brass hilts.

Thanks for the link and I found another one here

It seems that these brass hilted swords come from Southern India, Malabar, Mysore... But I don't think it's always the case.
