Tulwar with wootz blade!!

Hi Jens, i'm proud just because it's my first wootz blade

i don't think absolutely that it's an extraordinary piece (infact the handle is in quite poor conditions as the scabbard) and no the handle doesn't shows neither silver nor gold decorations

. On the pictures you may see the semi-circular sign that i think could be the sign of 'sarf welding': this sign is present in both faces of blade even if at a difference distance ( 2-3 cm) from the handle (and on a face the concavity is toward the point and on the other face is toward the handle).
Sorry if i'm boasting myself too much with this sword, but it wasn't my intention, just i like to know what do you think because your knowledge is too much great than mine

Thank you
