Hello Divyraj and welcome to the forum. As linking to photo hosting sites is not allowed I have removed the links to your sword. Please read the forum rules especially those that pertain to the posting of photos. You can then download your photos directly to the server as per forum rules.

Best,
Robert

I like the wootz pattern, you were given a nice sword, I would say 1800s or earlier. Do you have a clear close up image of the scarf weld?
