Hello Nihl,

Thanks for chiming in!

B. looks to be a malabari brass or bronze reproduction of an earlier, mid-late medieval version of a khanda.

Just a minor comment: This piece is all steel (blade, heavy langets, guard) except for the pommel cap (probably replacing a former cup?) and tiny bits of gold koftgari(?) remaining on the guard...

Regards,
Kai
