I am calling it tulwar, whereas this could be one of its variants.
Blade is 76 cms.(30") in straight line. The width at forte is 33 m/m.(1 1/8").
One of the langets was replaced, i think at the period, by brass brazing ( thanks Spiral for the input).
It has a full patina texture, but i am not certain if the dark ( black ) tone is the original, or somebody's later intervention, to perserve it or show it off.
A yelmen is visible, with a discreete protuberance.
What do you Gentlemen think of this specimen?
Thanks in advance.
