Tulwar made by Mole of Birmingham. I was told this was likely brought back to India by Raja Agit Singh of Khetri. He went shopping in England when he attended Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1887. He may have bought the blades and had the hilts put on in India or since it is marked Khetri on the pommel it may have been all made in England. 34 1/2" overall with a sharp 30" blade. $350. U.S.A. sales only. $20 USPS priority shipping with ins. PM or email direct at bjw@wildblue.net -- BBJW
