I think this sword might be a bit special re Indian swords so I look forward with interest in your thoughts and opinions.
There is a thread started by Gav, 'freebooter', on 'Straight bladed Tulwars', with posts by Jim, Jens and others which I think has pertinence to this sword but I don't know how to do a link
