Greetings from England, and welcome to the forums.
Great display, a good selection! Nice idea 'interlacing' them.

Interesting tulwar. Does it have, or perhaps did it have, the kind of added border than one can see at khanda at times?

Ha! Very interesting! Is the handle copper?
Ant the "coppery" tinge to the blade: is it real or just photographic mirage?

"Сoppery" tinge to the blade is real .
But he tulwar and handle - steel (magnets).

Is it possible that the steel was lightly copper electro plated :shrug:

Hello Gess,

Quesetion about the flyssa. Is the hilt bare wood or is it covered in some material? Usually we see these covered with brass and the ones with no brass bring up interesting questions.

Hi!
Wot is "shellac"? On "plated" it is not similar, it's as alloy...

Shellac is sort of like varnish; a protective coating; with age it turns yellowish - brown .

Collectors used it to preserve metals in the past . :)
