My New Tulwar (pics inside)

The blade is very well balanced actually; it's pretty substantial but narrows from about 1/2 a centimetre thick at the hilt, to about less than a millimetre for the spatulate tip.

Nothing of what you have written so far has been "kid stuff" to me, you know far more about these weapons than I do and I am grateful for your input.

I will post some more photos of the "Anvil" and another mark that I have just found (shaped like a greek "lambda" within a circle) tomorrow when there is more natural light.

Thanks again,
John Linker

Well, you see, I think what T.Donoho on SFI means is the point you can see at the square of the hilt. To my opinion this is where former a wheel was attached – like this one shown, although it might not have been fishes – more likely a wheel.
