The second picture shows a figure with a wonderful sword. I have one of these and will post pictures if there is any interest.

There is indeed

. Please share.
BTW, the closeup in the third picture appears to show a tulwar-hilted short sword with a curved blade whose edge bevel is on the inside edge - a sort of proto-kukri?

Hi Bill,
Interesting figures, and please let us se your sword as well

. Do you have more than these two figures?

Yes Berkley, this is interesting. Also have a look at this relief from a Hampi temple in south India.

It seems that some Kukri were hilted with the disc pommel.... unfortunately the blade is not visible.
