Guess this Indian sword

[Jeff D]

Hi Jens,

I am trying to learn to read Arabic dates and if you look at the detailed photo of the blade that you posted , on the right side you see signs that look like this; '119V' . I think that is the date but V is arabic for 7.
As for the Nordlundesque photo's, you may have been the first and possibly the best at it, but you don't have exclusive rights! ask Wolviex. .

All the Best.
Jeff
