COOL, I think they should be re-introduced into billiards immediately. And maybe golf too.......

Celluloid is extremly flammable . A small piece will go up like the blazes. So if you test this way do not do it next to the grip. That scabbard was definitely made by a sarki(Nepalese or Indian maker).

I would go so far as to hazard the opinion (worth exactly what you paid for it

) that the incised pattern on the scabbard is definitely Indian, not Nepalese.
