Excellent Jens!!!
![]() It really is amazing when all the pieces fit! Looks like this old warrior might have seen service in the Khyber. Now theres a piece of history, and very plausibly connected to the colorful times in those regions associated with the British Raj. All the best, Jim |

Jens,
Thank you for the information! It all seems to fit together now, and seems very logical. Very interesting Re. the flower on the disc, wonderful to know, Thank you again!! Re. the book on damascening you mention, I found a copy straight away, In Germany, but didn't buy it..........Seller wanted $5000 and odd dollars for it! Jim, Isn't it exciting when things all come together, and we at last can know with a fair degree of certainty where a piece came from? .........and this one appears to come from an area with quite a bit of history! Very fascinating! Am glad now I didn't just dump it in disgust when I first saw it! Will be happy when it can sit in its own restored scabbard. I think they both deserve a bit of peace. |
