Thanks Jim,
I have ordered the larger disk pommel Tulwar, but it isn’t on hand yet, awaiting customs paperwork etc.

Thanks you for your kind words, and your thoughts on the larger tulwars blade.

The photos of the tiger hilt Tulwar weren’t super clear on some areas. The tiger hilt saber has the same type of hollowed spine (for the first part of the blades length, just narrower but in the same ratio to the spine as the disk pommel tulwar), also has a razor sharp yelman, albeit non protruding from the line of the blades spine.

Could the larger Tulwar with disk pommel possibly have been made in the Caucasus or Central Asia for a North Indian client? One who would request the Indian ricasso.

Thanks.
