Hi,
I'm pretty new at all this so please forgive me if I use the wrong terms or anything.
I've inherited about forty swords and Gurkha knives and I'd love to learn more about them but I'm not sure what they all are. Any help at all would be very much appreciated!
The first one is really puzzling me, it looks like it's got a second hilt at the end of the blade with a red leather pouch to cover it. It's got Boleolo etched into the just below the proper hilt (covered in the red material) and I can't find any reference to this on the 'net. Is this a maker? Or an old owner? Or just graffiti?!
The next has got a slightly curved end on the blade with the hilt below:
