kaskara konundrum

I am still voting "Sudanese'
No Indian ricasso ( not obligatory, but would help)
The fullers are narrow, shallow, rudimentary.
It just says Sudan to me.
In the absence of Indian markings , I see no reason to invent long journeys and "first example". Occam's razor say local.
Elgood presented Indian sword with a Piso-like handle, and let's not forget Gulabhati " khanda" handle on Sumatran peudeungs. Sure, Indians traveled to Indonesia and brought with them not only weapons but a whole culture/religion.
Nice to be able to be contrarian: some other Forums ( Fora???) would have expelled me long ago :-)
