RARE, MASSIVE, ANTIQUE, INDO-PERSIAN KHANDA SWORD with BASKET-HILT - A serious fighting weapon used by both the Rajputs and the Marathas. These are some of the older Indo-Persian weapons. This example is in overall excellent condition. The hilt is very well done hand-forged iron with nice design work. The pommel is a curved spike which was used as a grip for a two-handed stroke. The grip is very tightly wrapped with green cord.  The leather and cotton padded hilt liner still remains, which is very rare as these usually do not make it through the centuries. It is a little worn, but considering its age in great condition.  The long blade is hand-forged, of an excellent temper.  The tip widens to a “spatulate” form. There are two narrow unstopped fullers on each side in the middle. The obverse has the makers mark (shown below).  The blade has a nice overall gray patina with no rust pitting at all, a testament to the quality of the steel. The base has an iron reinforcing strap with scroll designs.  Even after all these years, it is still very sharp! - Measuring 41-1/2 inches long, with a 35” Blade. A very scarce piece!! - Additional Photos Below - Item #wea-179 - ($1,500.)
