Karmically, I was at the Arms and Armour Society summer school at the Wallace Collection the other week and one of the handling objects was one of Tippu's swords. The inscription has been added and possibly the Tiger, as it was noted that its quite European in style.
Davinder Toor, who presented on Indian and Persian Arms and Armour (and also on the Katar), said that Pata blades were often flexible, though what that means for the one being discussed I don't know. Anyway, photos of Tippu's sword (top one, above the shamshirs).
