Hello dear members,
I wanted to share with you this big talwar / thega sword that I just received,
seems it was made for fight ,
it has ( sadly) marks/cracks on the blade.!...
I have to clean it...
I'ts a long one, 95cm / 37,5 inches long and heavy, 1,3kg / 2,9 pounds
Is it usual to see such long/ large pieces ?
the seller told me it was more than one meter long but it's still a nice catch
The large blade has a yelman, the thick blade structure is really thin and sharp after the yelman at the end/tip of the blade.
The hilt seems made of a single iron piece and there is an interesting stamp at the basis of the blade,
does anyone know where it can come from ?
An old mughal model ? 19th or 18th century ?
Kind regards
