Jim, Jens, Kirill, Radu and other Friends.
Thank you for yor opinions and my apologies for my inactivity, but my knowledge in this subject let me only feel happiness I have bring you joy and intellectual entertainment with my pictures.
Sorry to confront you my Friends, but you have mentioned few different names as a place of birth for the Indian sabre: Mysore (Radu) and Jeypore (Jens) - are these the same or different places on Earth? I understand we can agree it's South Indian region, anyway?
Do you agree with the Varuma (Jim's words) theory?
Jens: base of the sabre is made of silver, probably, because I haven't got this object before my eyes at the moment, but for sure this is not gold.
About the Sind helmet and armour. I don't have a photo of it, but I scaned it from prof. Zygulski book "Stara broń...".
Jim and Kirill: thank you for outstanding discussion about the sabre, please go on and don't stop. Here is a picture of medalion on the blade, where, as I believe, is something written on it. Unfortunatelly it's very hard visible even with the naked eye. Maybe you'll have any idea about it with your great knowledge. And I'm sorry if it is upside down or something
Radu: are you going to stop on 7 & 8 pictures. Come on, don't be shy, I'm waiting for your explanation of other objects
Regards!
