Tulwar question
Thank you for the warm welcome, Jens and Jim,
I will take your advice, and use 'search'. Have a book hopefully on it's way that may help! May I ask wether fullers in a blade are a sign of quality? I ask, because quite a few with decorated hilts appear to have plain blades. I won't ask more right now, instead go to 'search'! Can remember when I was a young teenager back in England in the late 60's, Tulwars were advertised, with gold or silver decorated hilts for three pounds ten shillings!!! |

If you find a piece you are after, PM or email any of us, and we'll happily if we can.
There are not many fakes of 'munition grade' swords, as they are relatively cheap to buy anyway, but fakes do exist so best not to buy blind |

Hi Richard,
Yes, in the 60’ies and 70’ies, London was good place for collectors  .The fullers were made to lessen the weight of the blade, without making the blade weaker. |
