STill does not fit the piso pedang hilt. For example it is missing the cup a the end and hilts are not pierced. Looks early Indian.

Hi Katana,

I still go for the Tulwar or Firangi party.

Look at this thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=844
Especialy the third one.

It certainly isn't a Piso Podang. I'm very sure of it.

Hi,
thankyou for all your help

.........I have got a PM which states the sword is a ......

"...17th century mahrattan Indian sword missing the whole of the basket hand and knuckle guard which would have sat down on the ridge that you can see at the bottom of the grip, they often are missing."

Would anyone have an example or information of a similar sword, thank you

Regards David
