Robert Mole & Sons of Birmingham was a well known supplier of blades and these kinds of fully made tulwars for native Indian regiments. They were subcontractors for Wilkinson along with at least one or more others, I believe it was J Bourne & Son. Enfield was a military small arms factory and did not produce swords in this manner for colonial purposes. The paluoar is a traditional sword in Afghanistan but was not produced in the manner of these tulwars and colonial sabres for India by makers and suppliers in England. This is a hilt FROM Afghan maker joined with a British cavalry blade from an Enfield produced sword. |
