It is going to take some time to clean up. Will show pics when cleaned.
Hello Tim.

This is a very strange item...
1) I am very confused by the handle. The place that you need to hold in your hand is very thick and, moreover, expands at the bottom. I think it's very inconvenient.
2) Mounting on a screw is also very unusual for Oriental Arms, in particular for Indian Arms.
3) Large spikes in the form of "pyramids" are also, as far as I remember, not typical of Indian Arms
