Thank you, guys!
My better half ain't gonna be happy : wootz blades do not come cheap:-) On the other hand, none of the Elgood's swords comes with a wootz blade. And I think Vandoo is right : Singhalese or Tamil. |

I agree with Bandook, that the animals shown at the end of the quillons are Yalis. I even think there is a third one, just under the flower at the top of the langet - supposed to be seen from the front.
