Yes, I do. I even have an identical one:-)
But this is a Tanjore katar commonly attributable to 16 century with a triangular form. One cannot have any other fullering. We are talking about later swords, don’t we? Any similar sword examples from 18-9 century? I am not trying to be stubborn, just want to get to the bottom of it if possible. I asked an acquaintance of mine who is very good in European swords, but he couldn’t place it. Could the moderator create a link to the European section of this Forum? |

Thanks for connecting my query to the European Forum.
So, my question to the European specialists: any examples of similar blades in the European arsenal? |

Hi Ariel,
Scottish backswords and broadswords are well known for multi fullered blades. These blades are European in origin with lots from the Solingen manufactories. Some have fullering the length of the blade and a ricasso similar to your blade but the vast majority I have seen tend to have some sort of markings. When I initially saw your blade my first thought was India and I'm still drawn to that source for this blade but who knows. Nice item regardless. My Regards, Norman. |

The fullers are to uneven for European production. Please compare your fullers with the fullers of my Jiboula. Roland |
