Tulwar stamped blade mark question

mrcjgscott · 24th May 2016, 12:45 PM

By happy chance I was going to post up my new tulwar (my second) when I saw this thread resurface.

Like the subject of Matt's query, my latest addition also carries the cross marks to the blade.

I assumed that they were pseudo-European markings, placed as a mark of quality.

Having hunted around, I cannot seem to see a specific term for a tulwar hilt without guard, is there such a term?

My first Tulwar posting on this board led to some very interesting discussion, I hope this one will also help me to learn more.

Great info here guys. Those charts will be most helpful for many collectors.

Thanks for your efforts.
