Default A Tulwar with an interesting hilt

Hi
recently finished on eBay a seemingly very interesting and desirable Tulwar. Does anyone have any more details regarding the hilt.

Thank you
Regards David

I saw this auction too. Here's a link to a similar one recently sold by Ashoka Arts:

Why does Ashoka Arts not write form where the sword is?

Hello Jens,

Do you mean why he does not write on this forum ?
Or do you mean the info on his website is insufficient ?

Maybe you can check with him via his e-mail ?

Nice hiltform by the way.

Reminds me a bit of some old British baskethilts, for what that's worth. Mostly due to the pommel shape I think.

They're different. Look at the decoration of the blade, and the shape of the quillions, for example.
