Pulwar from afghanistan

Hello Carlos,
To me, the blade looks suspiciosly flat. Also from the photos appears to have some strange bends/irregularities. Maybe I am paranoid, but it looks like crudely forged from band steel. Like the band steel was bent to give it the shamshir shape... and the bending wasn't very successful.

I tend to agree with the above posts.
The resin looks a bit suspect as well.

Nice old hilt though. :-)

Hello Carlos,

sadly I have to agree, the blade look more as doubtful to my eyes. Could you post better pictures from it?

Regards,
Detlef

Ward,
These pictures really are most interesting - from where do you have them?

I like pulwars and collected them for a while. I have 5-6 more and probably sold another 10 or so the last couple years.
