Paolo thanks for the pics 
 
Jens thanks again I have seen the knucle guard not ending in a flower bud or animal head but not in combination the the disk guard .I think it maybe somewhat early and probably made with other silmilar swords in a remote region of india.I also think it may be a transitional sword from full guard to half gaurd to no guard.Any way i  dont think the sword holds any great value. 
 
 
thanks ed
