Indian 'Main Gauche' ???
Hi,
This recently finished on eBay. A cut down sword or an unusual marriage, a Khanda hilt with a leaf shaped short blade. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=018 The rounded tip would not make a good stabbing weapon, the tip heavy blade looks better suited to slashing, but really is a little short. One possible use I can see, if this is genuine and not a ‘fantasy piece’ is that it would make a good ‘main gauche’ ….possibly for use with Rapier bladed Firangi ….like this one .. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5577 Are there any other examples of this type ? Any other suggestions ? Thank you Kind Regards David |
