Great assortment Gents ........ and Ralph takes the Crown on a massive sweet condition on variety

@ Jamie ....so that I dont detract from the original intent of this thread....could you post that Blue 1st Luft dagger for discussion in the Luft dagger forum?
It is nothing I have ever seen before and more resembles a post war repro....or is it a mini type for salesmen?

Regards Larry

The talwar originated alongside other curved swords such as the Persian shamshir, the Turkish kilij and the Afghan pulwar, all such swords being originally derived from earlier curved swords developed in Turkic Central Asia. The talwar typically does not have as radical a curve as the shamshir and only a very small minority have the expanded, stepped, yelman typical of the kilij.

A typical talwar has a wider blade than the shamshir. Late examples often had European-made blades, set into distinctive Indian-made hilts. The hilt of the typical talwar is termed a "disc hilt" from the prominent disc-shaped flange surrounding the pommel. The pommel often has a short spike projecting from its centre, sometimes pierced for a cord to secure the sword to the wrist. The hilt incorporates a simple cross-guard which frequently has a slender knucklebow attached. The hilt is usually entirely of iron, though brass and silver hilts are found, and is connected to the tang of the blade by a very powerful adhesive resin. More ornate examples of the talwar often show silver or gold decoration in a form called koftgari.

MR. rbminis very impressive collection. I noticed that you have in your collection and a nice knife from the Czech and Mikovsky "predator". Congratulations on the amazing collection

[rbminis]

MR. rbminis very impressive collection. If you see well you have a collection of Czech Mikov "predator" congratulations

Thank you!
Yes, I do.
It was given to me by a very dear friend, and fellow knife maker. He felt it was more appropriate in my collection than his.
He makes the Damascus for his own creations, and gives me the scraps of Damascus to make miniatures from.

This sword is 8.75 cm (3.5 in.) long with ivory, mastodon ivory and water buffalo horn.
