On the other hand, “ oddities” are practically expected: ..., all earlier examples were made in different arsenals and small workshops. The same is true about all other bladed weapons, from pseudo-shashkas to Mahsud ch’hurras. To a large measure this heterogeneity might be the most attractive ( at least for me) feature that vanished later on. ... If you do not mind, when I finally recover my post-omicron energy I might add some of mine to your example for general discussion.
Meanwhile, my congratulations together with a not insignificant dollop of envy:-)

Thanks and I Look forward to your examples!
The same source had two other Pulwars, one with a much more slender shamshir style blade that looked like it'd been over sharpened, and another that was a lot wider and straighter with a rounder point. I went for this one because it was not run of the mill. It was billed as 18c, in good shape if it is.
