Salaams Ibrahiim, Thank you for your response and the information. Robert Elgood in Hindu Arms And Ritual, shows a faint dagger outline on a stone carved statue. The hilt is bent to the side and asymetrical in nature. He mentions that the balanced upper pommels were used to seeing come from the North while one dagger of a later date remains in Tanjore Museum. Does anyone have a photo of that dagger or know how to contact the museum staff? Thanks Steve

Maybe the white 9 means it isn't there now!
