Hey everyone, it's me again. I've got a fascinating new acquisition: a silver khanda dating back to 18th Century India. I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for years and I just lucked onto an auction house in Germany a month ago that, shockingly, nobody bid at, thus I managed to get this thing "cheap".

This beautiful sword is 83 cm long with iron ridges, handguard, pommel, and spike, with its grip still wrapped in the original cloth. These metal sections are inlaid with silver for a floral decor. What I find strange about this weapon is that the steel blade has a median ridge traveling along the blade.
