who know more over such an khanda sword

Somehow, my antennae are nervously twitching...
In addition to the "aradam/arapusta" point noted by Fearn, I am suspicious about the extension (rattan?) of the pommel and, especially, about the Dhu-l-faqar point as such. There is a subtle widening of the blade at the root of the upper prong, and the inner parts of the prongs seem uneven. The overall length of the blade seems kinda awkward, shorter than it was supposed to be. I have a feeling this sword was mucked around with, and that the Dhu-l-faqar feature might have been added.
