Also of note is the koftgari hilt (it was previously mounted with another hilt with a blade support which we are used to seeing in firanghis). The inlay has worn away in such a way as to show that the index finger was hooked over the guard.
Can we get a close up of the hilt? I would love to see a pattern of coftgari wear indicating the finger over guard hold that you are referring to. Thanks in advance.
