My sword is just about the only arms related item I purchased on one fo my trips to India (everything else offered to me was either an obvious fake or a chunk of rust costing thousands of dollars). I was told by a seller that this kind of sword was used by the Bhil people in the rural areas, where usually only a chieftan or a high ranking warrior would have one as a status symbol.

Lets see if I can snap a picture to upload
