Default Talwar blade decorated with animal battles

This talwar is part of a weapons collection that my sister and I inherited from our father a few years ago. Other than what I have read in this forum and on Wikipedia, I know next to nothing about this type of sword. It has a silver gilt pommel, grip, and guard, with gold accents. The blade is covered with decorations of hunting scenes and animal battles. I guess this talwar would qualify as a koftigari.

Would anyone care to hazard a guess on its age? Has anyone seen something similar, and if so where?

Thanks!

I'll post a few photos here, more images are available in this Google+ album
