KAttI TYpe sword
Origin: Rajasthan
Date: 19th Century Hilt, Blade Possibly Earlier
Size: 36 inches
Ref: SD2303
Price: SOLD
A large and heavy example of a 19th century North Indian ‘Katti’ type sword. It can also be debated that the correct terminology for this sword is ‘Kirach’.
The steel hilt features a closed guard decorated with silver Koftgari overlay in floral design, which remains almost entirely intact.
The blade is of pattern welded steel with crisp deep fullering and a slight forward curve. An undeciphered makers/armoury stamp can be found on the ricasso block section.
Comes complete with its leather over wood scabbard.
In very good condition overall.
