In G.N. Pant's book Indian Arms and Armour vol. II such a sword is shown and commended - see below. However, somewhere else in the book he mentions, that he had never seen such a sword, sso he was obviously not aware of the one you saw at the museum in Kota.

Thanks Jens!
But...
I appreciate the books of Dr.Pant but unfortunatly they are secondary to by Lord Egerton one. It is like as all Indians historians of 20-th century who have studeid history of Rajasthan simply repeated J.Tod which in turn recorded court tales of rajas ((
