Thanks Marcus, once you start looking around you find that there is just not much information on haladie available.

Jens dated example of 1806 is the oldest reference I can find.

Information on Indian parrying weapons is hard to find, they seem to be related but what came first and who initially used them, are they all originally Rajput weapons, top down, two sainti, two madu, two haladie, saintie.
