My father-in-law collects antique pulwars (the traditional sword in Afghanistan). As a wedding gift, my husband got two antique swords that had been in their family since the 1880s. We have them displayed on the wall in our house.

They’re similar to this (except that the pommel and grip were a bit more intricate):

Interesting. So how long swords were in use in Afghanistan. Afgahns and Pathans gave tough time to British and I have a feeling that they got access to guns earlier than other communities in the region.
