Jens,

Thanks for the input and impressive photos! I had no idea about why so many of these pieces were lost...what a shame!

I do know it is next to impossible to find either of these weapons with their original scabbard, or in the case of the aydha katthi, more like a 'holster'.

Charles, it is not next to impossible, it is impossible, as the did not have a scabbard, they were worn in a kind of belt over the shoulder - at least the ones from Coorg.
