Hi all,

Not specifically in relation to Tulwar, but reference the Manton catalogue entry 512A straight-bladed Scimitar, can anyone shed any light on the earliest date and origin of Indian pattern scabbards having three sling-rings on the scabbard, such as illustrated in the catalogue with this sword.
