New Year Bonanza...!!!

Thank you Vandoo..

Any comments on the age or style?

The longer Firangi is 49 inches in length and is also double edged. The smaller one in 45 inches and has a bit of the silver pommel cap intact. Part of it is broken away. It Also has a series of dot like punch marks near the base of the blade. Does that mean anything?

I'm particularly curious to hear comments on the Dhal - shield. It shows some definite age and wrapping. It also has a hole (bullet?) on it. I'm not sure of the hide.

The tulwar -- could it be termed as a sosun pata? The seller was over zealous and has machine cleaned it. Is there a way to restore the older look?

Regards,
Bhushan
