I need some more informations over Khanda swords

[Gavin Nugent]

Hi all, regarding the posting from Alex...

This would not be the first blade I have seen drilled in the manner, although I have not seen this type of weapon drilled, I have seen many Khyber knives and cavalry swords drilled in this manner here in Australia over the years and the pairs secured with a countersunk screw to have the weapons in a crossed fashion for mounting.

With the type of hilt present on this blade I don't see it being too hard to have a block of wood used as a spacer behind with a long screw to keep the setting all square and presentable. If I stumble across any again or images of this type of mounting I will post them in future discussions.
And Jim, if you are reading this I have not forgotten the symbolism in your trademark forum, just super busy during this silly season.
