Rick,
You don’t have to be brave to try; it all goes very slowly, so you are in full control all the time.
Yes it is ‘funny’, isn’t it, that both come from the Bikaner armoury, and both have the same filing marks. My guess is, that when some part of the armoury was ‘emptied’, some smart guy made this, but I am guessing, of course, as I can’t, in my wildest fantasy, imagine that an armourer would do a thing like that. Both our swords may not have ‘started’ at the Bikaner armoury, but that is where they ended – until their final travel.
Jens
