Good news /bad news Tulwar.

Jens,
I was unaware that the ricasso on this tulwar was unusually long.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

The fullers on the 'off side of the blade go right up to the hilt, yet on the right hand side end well back.
Was this to allow room for the owner to add his personal mark, or "doodlings"
Such as we see in this case?
(Obviously these 'scratchings are not professionaly done!)

Any information you could 'dig up' re. the flower would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
R.
