Hello all!

I've finally gotten around to addressing my loose hilt problem on a very sad old tulwar. I was told it was excavated and boy do I believe it! Unfortunately someone got hold of it and went to town with an angle grinder or something else equally destructive. Anyway, I did remove the hilt and (in the only place the grinder couldn't reach) under the hilt I found an interesting makers mark or armory mark. Can anyone help me identify it? I took the best pics I could - hope you can help.

Has anybody any idea at least of what these characters symbolize? Is there any idea about the country where this mark may have originated? These forums are the only place that I know of to try to research this. If I'm looking in the wrong place then I'd love for someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi Tim, There are several books on the subject of Indian or Indo-Persian swords, none which I have yet, however there is an excellent website/forum that can probably answer your question. Try visiting Vikingsword.com, there are many advanced collectors there who can hep you.

Cheers,

Greg
