Man, you manage to find examples that put the existing theories upside down!

Where are you located and are you a professional historian of weapons? You seem to be far too good for a chair amateur:-)

Im in the US - happy late 4th. But ancestry is Indian. I am just a arm chair history buff, but never the less I accumulated a lot of interesting things over the years. At this point I probably accumulated more than some people who actually publish books, art, etc. At this point I can almost tell which period of Indian history is from the clothing, architecture, etc. and I have a eye for interesting subtle things in Indian clothing, weapons, etc. But things from India keep throwing me off at times. I cant imagine the interesting things are yet to find in the ground. Once Indian archaeology gets proper funds, support, etc. more interesting things await.



Speaking of Chillanum --

Deccan, Undavalli Caves, 6th-7th Century AD

Interesting right? Earliest example of the similar langet design you'd see later on. Though the ones on Talwar were from early Islamic models.
