Title Sukhela with 16th century Venetian blade
Nationality Indian
Period c 1800
Sold

An unmarked blade, probably from Belluno, typical of the type that would have been carried in a clam shell hilt sword. These blades were exported via Goa to the Indian sub-continent and would have mounted up in their own hilts through succeeding centuries.

The parcel has arrived - at the time you indicated.

The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.

Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.

Thank you, Chris. All arrived safely. Very quickly too, much quicker than from the US! Very satisfied. It is a nice sword.

Anyway, thanks again and I have marked your site for future interest.
