Lee,
Thank you for the close ups on the khanda and firangi. Very helpful observation on the metallurgical analysis; it's going in the evaluation toolbox.
Jim,
Thank you for your observations. I hadn't well observed how the Indian smith echoed the engraving on the blade in the koftgari. You helped me find more beauty in this sword.
fernando,
It's been 3 days since I made that last post, and I'm still trying to come to grips with 2008 being 11 years ago!
