I'll will have to be a slow collector though, my other half does not approve of spending money on "bits of rusty old metal".

They never do, my friend, they never do.

The fluorescent light is what's effecting your color. Turn it off and try again.

OK, buddy, you have been bitten and there is no cure: from now on you shall measure the price of everything ( gas, mortgage, restaurants, clothes, girlfriends....) in "Tulwar units".
As for this one, I am puzzled by the handle: it is not Punjabi or Sikh (symmetrical sharp swelling in the middle) or Delhi ( very rounded and also symmetrical). This one is narrow at the top and is quite thick at the bottom.
Where is it from?
