Rick, Im really glad I could help, and of course I dont mind your using my comments
actually I do the same thing from many of the informative posts here and keep updating my notes. Here we're all learning together and its great when items or questions are posted as I get to research and learn, than add what I can to the thread.
The paluoar is an intriguing and handsome sabre and these have some fascinating history, yours is a beauty! Markings are my particular obsession and this example of the crescent moon on an Afghan blade goes to my notes, so we're quid pro quo!!! Thank you
All the best,
