It's very beautiful.
I have a silver hilted Tulwar with a standard shape blade of that kind of Wootz. I believe that the blade is of Indian manufacture. I've not seen one of that shape before. I'm VERY jealous! |

Hello dear Forum-Members,
this sword is a typical "Nawaz Khani", probably from the Deccan. There is a very nice example in the Wallace Collection. Its blade shows the signature of Assaddulla Isfahani. For that reason it might be a falsificate, as I only know shamshirs made by him. Cameron-Stone also mentions that type. With my kind regards, Ronald |
