Indian Composite Piece For Comment

Hi David our replies crossed:

The thought had crossed my mind that the blade was originally a "normal" khanda, reworked in the nagan form. I guess my hope is that the curves in the blade seem to be reasonably well done (rather than the pointy types you see in for example later fillipino pieces). When I see the blade in person I'll know if there are ugly grind marks, whether it is sharp, etc. That will answer a lot of questions.

Great thoughts David!

As for the mace, I thought I'd be able to find more than one picture! Sorry its not a lot of help, but you can see that the possibility is there:

Notice that the mace version doesn't have a back spike for the 'hand and a half' grip. That would also be fine with your 'ring' pommel.
