This firangi is with a single edge long blade.
This blade is very flexible
Overall length: 121 cm the blade 100 cm
How old could be this sword ?

Ok, as you probably know a great number of blades found in this style of mount are trade blades from the 18th century and some from the 17th. At a guess this one would fall into the 18th century category. But I would hope the resident Indian weaponry collectors could give you more information.
