3- Straight Yemeni Sword:

This i believe is one of the most interesting swords i have. Its a european blade (probably 18th? century) with a yemeni horn hilt. Found it laying around in an antique shop didnt hesitate to buy it.

4- Tulwar:

(top Tulwar)

This tulwar at first i thought its a modern production but the blade is well forged and sharped, also never seen anything like it in modern indian fakes or modern productions. The hilt shows some gold but am not sure if it shows in pictures. Any opinion on this one? is it common to have such decoration on indian blades?
