I am really glad the dealer thought it was a sword - help the rest of us collectors to recognise a sword when we see one:-).


I would love to see it cleaned, but I agree with Ariel that is most likely is a khanda, and the hilt is Mughal 17th century, unless the blade has been changed.
This does not mean that the hilt and the blade were 'born' together, but they could have been.
