I am selling some pieces from my puratan shaster collection. i'm offering first option to fellow sikhs else they will go on ebay for plenty more. all of my shastars are authentic and originally purchased from european collectors.

unlike shasters i have seen on this site being sold that have clearly been married recently or tampered with, every shaster in my collection is in sleepy condition and battle-ready. all have correct patina, perfect balance, and even the koftgiri design confirming the age and location where forged as correct.

if you are interested in an 18thC Indo Persian Tulwar please message me your email address and i will email photos from my collection, this piece and its background.

thanks

many europeans stole artefacts from punjab in 18thC via the east india company. a lot of them ended up everywhere from hidden in mansions of private estates through to nailed on the walls of country pubs. ironically goray know more about our shastars than we do. there are regular arms fairs held in western countries, but even they are very well screened by westerners who pick off the best pieces offering HUGE amounts of money. my advice would be save up, buy 1/2 quality pieces from a recognised source rather than having a whole room full of tat. or, wait for apnay who have paid much higher prices in previous years to sell due to financial situation. unfortunately i'm in this category

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
