A pair of basket hilted Firangis

Yes Jim, both blades are single edged and I agree that while both are in a European style, I too believe them to be of Indian manufacture. Interestingly enough the first, with its mark, also has it on the other side of the blade but without the eyelash marks. I would therefore guess that the two central figures between the eyelash are something else.
I hope today to take photos of all 5 for a good comparison between the different styles.
Cheers
Andy
