Hello,
I know next to nothing about Indian weapons but when it's old like you think it was always handled with gloves and never used. I can't see any wear on this piece!  Regards, Detlef |

Yes it was never used. I would estimate that 95% of the blue and 100% of the koftgari is still present. Its has some minor scratches here and there but of course it cant be brandnew. I attached another picture that i forgot to post.

It is a nice looking spear head, but I am sorry to say, that I think it is newer than you hope for.
There is a faint chance, that it was made in the 19th century, placed in an armoury, and never used, but dont count on it. |
