Hi all,
Picked up this item today. I'm not sure how to categorize this sword so help needed. Length 28 inches, blade 23 1/2 inches, blade width at widest 1 7/8 inches. Looks and feels to have some age and not sure whether blade and guard/hilt a later marriage. I have looked for the same blade markings in previous posts, some similar but none exactly the same that I could find. Feels nice in the hand, a kind of Indian Dussack. As usual all thoughts and ideas sought.
Regards,
Norman.
P.S. Blade has a pronounced T spine for approx 17 inches from guard. Sosun ?
