So it were you who outbid me???

Well, at least this tulwar found himself an educated and devoted owner. Enjoy each other!

I think Jim is onto something, and this something is "Arab connection"

This blade has clear similarity with South Arabian nimcha, with its widened distal part. I think it is a naval sword, likely from Southern India.
