Hi Derek,

I don't know about the FB Company and the British officers, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Do you have better pictures? Where do you see a Naga?
Very, very vaguely I seem to remember that there is a story about someone with a fishtail, but I will have to try and find something about it. Yes the two on the lower pictures seem to be Hanuman’s, and on the other side it is a king, but it could be anything from Vishnu to a king from the history of India. I think the ‘history’ shown on the two lower pictures may be easier to find.
Come to think of it, you will have to find out what the two Hanuman's have in their hands, as this can help telling us in which form they are - and maybe make it easier.

Hi Jens,

I posted them again with some arrows and labels, but I don't know if it will help much.

A semi educated guess .
This blade may show elements from the Ramayana portraying the rescue of Sita by Hanuman and his monkey army .

There better pix Derek!

I think fork tail equals fishes or mermaids rather than Naga.

Other than that afraid I cant help.

Any Brahamins in the house?

One side of the blade may represent Hanuman giving Sita Rama's signet ring in the forest garden of Ravana's castle .

The other side may represent the marriage of Sita to Rama ; the fish tailed women may represent the companionship of Women in its perfection . There is a goddess in Hindu mythology that is fish tailed .
