question about an unknown indian sword.

Here's a scenario :

Organized bible group buys Indian swords in bulk and has them custom etched .

Here's Joshua 24:15 :
" And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. "

Who knows ?

Think Rick is right, Joshua Brigade, looks like it is a father & son Bible group in Manila. Maybe contracted out to India for a cheap, more flashy product. I'm writing to Gloria, the out-sourcing must be stopped.

hey, thanks guys. now i got an idea of what i have now.
I kinda see where your commming from with the bible guys. Maybe it was a gift or item for sale from some missionaries to india.

THat sword that looked like a cousin to mine, lookes different. the etching is different. That etching looks more...modern. Mine lookes more old or indianish. that etching looks like the flower/vines found in old 1500's catholic bibles. That sword only has one vine going all the way down the blade. mine is covering it. Except for the edges.

Also, the gold on it, is old looking and warn out. Kinda has that antique look to it...and that old metally smell.(ewww... hate that smell)

thanks a bounch!!!!!!

wow, now i see my pics. hehe they make the sword look brand new. u can kinda see the etching on the blade. it was kinda hard getting a good pic with the glare and all. If u could see it in person, up close its more too it.

one more note. its all faded. everything is. so u can only see detail in the light.

either ways, its just a sword purchased, slaped a title on it, and given to someone, and somehow ended up in my grandmothers house.
