I would love to see your rebuttal: the best way to learn.
Unfortunately, the material is so scarce that we ( myself first and foremost) invent more theories than solid answers...
I'd love to see an old sword engraved " Qalachuri. Made in 1123" Fat chance. More likely it will be chemically etched "Made in India" all over the nickelplating...
Have a safe trip!
