19C Indian Tulwar with makers mark, sold

In overall good condition, a 19C Indian Tulwar with makers mark.

This tulwar has the remains of a maker's mark on the hilt by the hilt. It also has a knucklebow once, which was removed probably period for more hand space (the grip was often too small, so knucklebows and pommels were often removed).



The 29 inch solid and quite heavy blade has some inert rust spots but is otherwise good and firm in the hilt. The hilt good, with remains of decoration still visible. The red felt scabbard, probably a replacement, in good order for age. The sword sheathes and draws well but does not fully sheath (small gap).

A decent sword to say the least. Yours for £? (too late, now sold) . Please quote item reference S15 (0623). Further / full sized images available upon request.
