This was one of the items that I found at the show.It has the aspects of a Nepalese kora, a ram dao as well as Indian influences. It was my pleasure to meet Charles at the show (as well as Rick), and he thought it could be an Indian or Ceylonese temple sword ;He said that the colors of the handle were indicative of the users, but he couldn't quite remember which ones.
The item measures approx. 20",the hand forged blade measures almost 2.25" at it's widest, almost 3/16" at the spine and still very sharp.
Any help towards the identification of this item would be appreciated.
