Thanks guys ! You've been a great help !
Looks like I managed to post the tulwar pics twice
The last pic of the kindjal was posted to show the difference on the handles on my standard KKV-kindjal and the new one. The KKV fits my hand, but the new one is very small. Is that because the KKV is a standard issued Zlatoust factory made fighting kindjal and the new one is more like a parade/dress model ?
I will try to hold a magnet to the hilt when I get back home from my christmas vacation....
The kindjal is a keeper, but I think I will let the tulwar go, what would be a fair price for this one ?
Best
