Hi Ian
Thanks for your response, I am still satisfied with my first purchase.The pattern is slightly visible in a few places on the blade but always the wavy pattern . The patina/rust is indeed quite attractive so I will leave it as is. Best regards Marc |

Hi Marc,
I have not posted for several recons, but I will answer your question as best I can. I think it is Close to Himalaya, very close, and from the 18th century. I hope this will help you further. Jens |

This is totally amazing!!! JENS! you have been DEEPLY missed!
Marc, you have stirred the sleeping giant of katars! and this description is remarkable, showing you have acquired, and been holding, a fascinating example of one of these distinct weapons from regions not often associated with them. Jens, Im so glad to see you here |

Thank you Ian.
There are many different types of the katar, and I think that a few, but some, have noticed it. As some may know. I have more than 50, so it would be close to me to research them - and so I did. Jens |
