Nice Tulwar
Hello,
I just won a bid for a tulwar on ebay. 32" blade with two fullers close to the spine. It looks European, but I know Indian blades sometimes had such fullers. The curvature is quite high, almost like that of a shamshir...looks quite nice. Unfortunately it is missing the scabbard, so I will have to make one eventually. What's odd on this piece and the one I got from CollectingNewbie is that the ricasso is very slight, it could almost be an edge. On many tulwars I've seen it very highly defined, a complete break from the edge.
Any thoughts or details would be most appreciated.
Emanuel
