Those ones did though. The restoration looks good. 

For the confused bootha. Those dark spots are what pitting corrosion leaves when you restore a blade. 

Since the petina was removed it doesn't matter. The antique value is already decreased. As legit shastars though it's no big deal, the rust was removed and they're fine blades. 

I've restored blades before. That minor pitting doesn't effect their value as a relic or weapon just as an antique. Even polishing the blade and removing surface corrosion effects the antique value. 

In some ways it's hard to tell from a photo, but I do metal work for the air force, and that definitely looks like it pitted. 

I still encourage anyone who wants them as weapons to buy them just don't think of them as antiques.

The definition of pitting is : make a hollow or indentation in the surface of.- like small indentations from rust eating into the blade. these blades have next to nothing pitting in that definition.I would refer to the stains as stable oxidation of the steel rather than active rust or the after effect e.g pitting. That would be my understanding

When you clean or polish the blade, those little black areas are left in the little pits, at least in my experience. 

They're in amazing condition and are cutting blades. I'd be honored to own them, I'm just not in the market. 

They were just given some tender loving care at some point to remove a bit of corrosion. 

At their age that's not a surprise. Beautiful pieces. 

Almost undoubtedly better than any modern sword you could buy, and they have rich history. 

I'm in no way encouraging people not to buy them. Just if they are getting them to trade in antiques the antique value decreases with the proper care they've been given, and whoever is lucky enough to own them will have excellent, old, authentic weapons with some really minor pitting that in no way effects the blade quality.

Hello,

Hoping someone can explain what is meant by a "ganga yamuna/jamuna" tulwar. Is this a type or class of tulwar, does it refer to a place where quality swords were made?  Does it mean the sword steel is wootz or pattern-weld damascus or a particular type of steel? What characteristics identify a "ganga yamuna/jamuna" tulwar? Thank you in advance.

    • 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?
