Old Tulwar, For info

Hi Joe.

No the handle is not going to be Wootz
The handle is made of 2 parts sheet steel generally brazed together, I would think the pieces are formed first before brazing.

Be careful, I picked up a tulwar around 8 years ago and now have perhaps 25 Indian swords and daggers, you will want more of them.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Regards,

Ken

Thanks Kmaddock, and you are so right, since acquiring this talwar locally, i tried to purchase two from an ebay seller in india, unfortunatly the deal was to good to be true, and im still waiting for the full refund,(seller lost them,etc..)..,, , i dont think i will stop looking at swords soon, i like the history and the personal touch of so called ethnographic weapons.
