Thanks Freebooter
No problems! I look forward to any information.
Hello Sajen
Thanks for sharing the Rare Kumara Reference,Sorry I do not have a book by Kerner. I have tried to find a reference photo of this character with no success.Is he shown in the photo by Marcokeris?, Thanks.
Would he also be known as Kama?
To me this hilt looks to be of a demonic aspect rather than a deity
The bared lips, fangs, oversized clawed hand, flared eyebrows and eyes.
Pg 115 of "Kris Gli Invincibli" 1st print Has a figure with similiar eyes, eyebrows and posture. Although adult in appearance.
If possible,How many types of metal would have been used in this blade? 3 or more?
Thanking you for the discussion. If photo from book needs to be removed due to copyright I hope Moderaters will do so. I am unclear.

Cheers,

Dan
