Scabbards

I bought the sword from Artzi Yarom of Oriental Arms. He had it described with both terms, although he spelled it "Sousson pata".
I am new to this field so I did not know which term was most common.

P.S. I live in Florida and would probably like to deal with someone in this country.

Hi Marcus,
I asked be course Sailaba is a term seldom used. You will see that several of the Indian weapons have more than one name, according to from where in India they were used.

Here is a link to a discussion on Sailaba's. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=Sailaba

Jens,
The link you posted is actually the thread that Google found which led me to this forum. I have enjoyed following the various active discussions since then. One comment that I received when I first posted pictures of my sword was that since it lacked the T-back ridge, it was not really typical for this sword type. I wonder if that helps place its origin (either temporally or geographically), or just confuses the issue.

RhysMichael,
I would like to contact the members you mention but I did not find them in the member list. Do they have different user names?
Thanks,
Marcus
