Strtaight Blade Tulwar

Both Mourice and Jim are right, and the discussion pops up now and again.
It seems to me, that we have discussed this before, although I seem to remember, that the discussion was on different sword blades with a tulwar hilt.
If anyone sees a tulwar hilt without a blade, no one will discuss that it is a tulwar hilt, so I will suggest that swords with a tulwar hilt, but with a different blade is called. A tulwar hilt with a Persian blade, a tulwar (with the Indian tulwar blade), a sukhela with a tulwar hilt and so on.
In this case it will be clear, what both the hilt and the blade looks like.
