This not an INDIAN TULWAR EXECUTIONERS SWORD it's just a large tulwar hilted salawar yatagan. Tega I thought were used to remove heads? They have very heavy blades and they seem more suited for that job. As far as this blade being made from sham wootz I just can't tell the blade is all scratched up it just maybe a poor cleaning job on the blade?
