				 |  (really) old tulwar with yelman for ID 
			
			Hello everyone, It's been a long time since I posted an item. Here's a saber I recently found. I find.it interesting. It's not in very good condition, but I think it's an older model, and the blade has remained very sharp. the shape with the yelman reminds me of the Mughal origin. I was able to remove the old black rust patch that had formed, quite a bit of work.... This allowed me to see two identical hallmarks on either side of the blade and another one at the base with a particular shape. The blade is maybe made of wootz. The hilt is also interesting: old repairs, and I don't know if it's wootz. There are remnants of koftgari on the end of the pommel. Do you have any idea of the saber's provenance and age? |
