Reference;
A. http://atkinson-swords.com/collectio...stan/chilanum/ B. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17459 The webpage at Reference A gives a great summary on this weapon and the people who used it. The web page illustrates the weapon below against a grey background and hilt at the top...as being a single piece molding rather than a pinned blade... The weapon below with the spear shaped blade is from Reference B. which also gives a fascinating word terminology of its meaning at #18 which I must place here in full by bhushan_lawate . Six Years Ago ! The "Jamdhar" is a loose distortion of "Yamadaushtra" and evolved in the following way: 1. Yama (Lord of death per the Hindus) + Daushtra (tooth in Sanskrit) which became - Yama + Dadh or "Jamdhad" which is now "Jamdhar" It is also used synonymous to Katars in some places in India.
