Finally Got a Bichwa

Here is the one that I have for comparison. After you clean yours up it should look similar.

Excellent example Lew! and as shown in the link that Radleigh placed in his post, your bich'hwa is the only dagger that I have seen with that type marking on the blade. Also most interesting is that yours seems to be copper in the hilt.

Best regards,
Jim

I think the hilt is made of bronze not copper.

Lew,
Thanks very much, I couldnt really tell. Again, its really a nice one and I always wondered after the earlier thread if any more was determined on its origins and the interesting blade marking.
