This is all I have found right now but it does not go against my rather bold statement.The first picture is from a book published in 1918 note the narrow forte.The second picture is from a modern publication, again note the forte.If I find more I shall post them.I have just remembered this picture from the same 1918 book of a Nandi warrior, note the different way of wearing,and the handle.Tim
