Seldom seen Khanda

[Gavin Nugent]

I'd like to share my pair of seldom seen early Hindu Khanda.

The larger example has a silvered and gilded/gold washed blade and an amazing fuller structure.
The smaller example in amongst the long list of cleans to take place, a small window etch reveals a very nice Wootz pattern. I must point out the smaller example is a standard sword length of 35&1/2 inches overall.

They both have many other very interesting finer aspects in the detail but I am afraid until they both receive some further cleaning it is pointless to photograph.
