A rare and early Khanda sword
This is a very early form of a Khanda sword. Pictures and information about it can also be found in the book by R.Elgood (Hindu Arms and Ritual).
I can't judge when it came from, it's very old!!
it is in good condition for its age, only the original handle end is missing here, it was replaced by a bowl-shaped end.
the tip of the blade has the typical cobra head shape.
it has 2 cutting edges and is very flexible. a small hole was punched into the tip area (not drilled). and at the end the year 1888 is stamped into it. i think it was a souvenir from a british soldier who took it home after his service as a wallhanger.
the handle is elaborately made of iron. the blade reinforcements are beautifully worked out. they are forged and not cast. these swords are rarely found in this good quality.

Dimensions:
Total length: 820mm
blade length: 700mm
blade width at the tip: 58mm
blade width in front of the handle: 40mm

If you have any questions, please ask me!

Price: 2.600,- €

the transport costs depend on the place of residence of the buyer.
(but if you want to buy 2 of my offered swords then the transport would be free!!)
