A most interesting fighting sword, early – mid 19 C., most probably coming from the Bikaner armory, Rajasthan, India. The watered blade with delicate linear pattern is fullered, 33 inches long with a 8 inches back edge. The blade is marked with dot. Whole e steel handle in the shape of the handle of the Sumatran Piso Podang sword. Total length 37 inches. Very good condition. This sword comes with a newly made scabbard (not shown). The punched dot marking suggests the attribution to the Bikaner armory. May be an earlier use in Sumatra which finds its way to the Bikaner armory. A very impressive sword.
