Form where in India and how old is this katar?

Lew,

Don’t worry about ’missing’ decorations. I also have katars ‘only’ with chiselled decorations, and I like them a lot. In a way they are more ‘honest’ than the others, although the others can be flashier. You are, of course, right that weapons and other goods of value, travelled a lot when a battle had been won, and where it ended in the first place, may not have been where it was, when the armoury was split up – it could be in quite another part of the India.

The photographic test on my katar has been made, and both the copper and the silver have been inlaid – fantastic work.
