Tulwar: solid silver handle.

Thanks Roland! Something to think about...

Jens,
Complete off-top: the handle you show has " kissing cranes" ( or whatever these chicken are) on the D-guard.
Pant shows the same pattern in his book, as a separate picture and attributes it to Marwar. Any thoughts about the veracity of that assertion? I have one tulwar with similar handle, and was looking for a long time for a confirmation ( or refutation) of his claim.

Hi Ariel:-),
Maybe you know this already, but you may find others being bigger fans of Pant that I am.
I am not sure the 'kissing' cranes are from where he said, but I dont know from where they are - yet.
As to the hilt, what about this one?

I am not a great fan of Pant either.
But even broken watch shows perfectly correct time twice a day:-)))
