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

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.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
