New Katars

You really have gotten yourself a lot of katars. I find the katar shown on picture seven and eight especially interesting, as it can be pinned at a spacial place, Bundi in Rajasthan. When the Prince of Wales visited India in 1875-76 he was presented with a lot of weapons and other things, given by the Princes and Nobles of India. Later it all was exhibited at Marlborough House and a catalogue was made. In Case E, amongst other things, a katar is shown, and this katar was given to the Prince by H.H. The Maharaja of Bundi. If you look at the flowers between the cross bars you will see that the flowers on your katar and the ones on the picture are alike – and this indicates that it is a Bundi katar.
