Indian Katar

Hello All!

I got this nice katar recently. It is good quality steel and shows good age. Unfortunatly a t some point in recent history it looks like it was scrubbed with a wire brush!

So any koftgari on it is long gone but some spots between the crossbars shows s ome real nice aging as well as some old black rust, but no active rust is on it.How old could it be,, could it be from the Mughal period? Comments are welcome!
