Hello,
really nice pata with an interesting old gauntlet !
the blade must be european, can you post a picture of the other side of the blade with the ''date''1640 ?

Interesting Pata. The short gauntlet indicates early age (circa 1600). Tanjore region. The blade seems Italian or German. 1640 is very plausible for the date. The Yalihead was ment to stop an opponents strike.
Congrats!
Peter
