Nice blade, is the handle new? It seems to be in too good of condition and it seems the blade has been attached to the handle recently.

What's the price on this tulwar, the pesh kabz and this piece?

I am sorry, but this is a con - unless Mr 'Shere Punjab' can provide any evidence to authenticate the age/history of these products. These are not old items ....just because they are a bit rusty, it doesn't mean they are old!! my bike has been in the back garden for the last 12 months, and has similar rust on it.

I was at a flea market in France last year, and this guy was selling a pen knife with a Nazi SS logo on it; it looked old and I thought it must be a genuine WW2 Nazi soldier's knife. I asked the price and he said Euros 300 - if he had said Euros 50 or so, I might have considered buying it.

Anyway, i looked it up on the internet and it turns out that 1000s of these have been manufactured over the last 20 years and you can buy them online for about Euros 10!!

This listing is clearly from someone who thinks that overseas Sikhs may be gullible enough to fall for his pitch!!

..and why on earth, would someone wreck a historic weapon by adding a modern part to it???

absolute nonsense. avoid this...and next time you are in India, pick up some stuff like this for the few hundred or thousand rupees that it probably really costs.

The Tulwar is at least 110-130 years old.

No other items displayed are Puratan, never said so.

And We need some positivity in this world full of negativity. I AM NOT FORCING anyone to buy my stuff, everyone is free to ask their doubts and I did post close ups to clear some regarding blade and handle.

And I would love to know (even sangat will) the address where we can get this kind of Tulwar cheaply.

It's Puratan NOT Historic.

Well the blade itself of the first tulwar's blade seems at earliest 20th century/late 19th century and the handle is new indeed (has been recently attached). A pristine condition authentic 16th-17th century Khanda, firangi, shamshir with original gold work can be bought in a range of 1,000-1,500.

I would say the first sri sahib is worth 300-600 dollars max, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure many other enthusiasts would agree.

The other pieces are nice, but definitely more expensive than they should be. In India what I've noticed is when they realize you're from abroad they think you must have a countless amount of money and will pay whatever they ask (sad thing is some people from the UK do this which is why they do it).

If you find a Nihang Singh with sharda in Punjab, despite knowing you're from abroad, they will make you most shastar in high quality of your choice if you tell them exactly what you want. You can get the sher panja made for I'm guessing 500-1000 rupees max for two double bladed.

One thing that kind of ticks me of is NRIs who go to Punjab and pay whatever price they're asked without haggling, that really messes it up for us hagglers with a budget haha

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
