hi guys..!
i ask in an other thread ( armourer marks) because the sword , what is it?
it is an straight bladed indian sword with these two stamps ( katar and an trident). the blade is single edged , very sturdy an heavy without an ricasso. the hilt is the typicaly khanda hilt, thik overlaid with silver. i think these sword is very unpracticable for the fight in an battle. i´m an strong man and i can´t believe that i can fight more than some minutes with such an heavy and slowly sword. it weight nearby 1400gr. and i think it have not such an good balance in the hand. the blade measure 82 cm, the length over all is 101cm. i hope someone can tell me more over these kind of swords!!
