i will show you this ( i think) very intresting and i think very rare indian sword for disuss.
i never saw before these kind of gauntled sword with an yalihead.( by stone you could find an picture with an yalihead at the gauntled but there you couldn´t see the details.)
these sword was mounted with an eurorean blade. i´m not sure if it is solingen or maybe spain. i couldn´t read the signature. maybe someone know something more about the maker or could read the name at the oposite side you could read the year 1640 ( i think that it is the year and not an mystic number)
unfortunatly is the the gauntled not complete( the arms ring is missing) but the other parts are in an very good condition. now i´m courius about the opinions from the indian arms specialist in the forum.
