			The scabard is felt.  there is a slight bevel to the blade, and sharp, but at the moment only fairly sharp towards the end.  I'll try and post better pictures of the "scratchings"  .  These were reportedly purchased in India in 1906, so unlikely added after that.

			Hi, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I ended up responding on the previous thread and then i see these detailed pics.... But i guess you already have your answer on the script ![]() The figures that you see on the blade are from the Hindu pantheon of gods associated with various incarnations of Lord Vishnu The one with Mace is Balarama -- elder brother of Krishna. The one with wings is Garuda -- The celestial vehicle of Vishnu You are right with the one with Flute -- It is Krishna. I'll need to dig in for details and need a lil better pic to figure out the other two. Hope that helps. Regards, Bhushan  |
