I don't believe that's a piso podang Katana; quillons on a piso are usually flattened at the ends .

Not a piso podang. Could be a pulwar or an older 17th or 18 century tulwar.

Thankyou all for your input.
 I didn't think this was a Pulwar because, as Ward has already mentioned, the quillions were not 'upturned' towards the blade. Never considered this to be a Tulwar because of the lack of curveature of the blade. A Ferengi 'minus' the 'basket hilt' was a possibillity. But the overall impression was that this sword was a Piso Podang......now I am totally confused Lew, you suggested 17thC - 18th C , is that due to the hilt design ?

Certainly not a piso podang.
The hilt is the hilt form you see on the tulwar. A straight bladed tulwar or even maybe a firangi. Firangi means foreign blade. You have to search in the tulwar region. |
