Thank you David for your message,

Clearly the dots engravings match with the Bikaneer Armoury.
I.don't think they did brass hilts just for save money .
Iron hilts were not expensive
and we dont find easily old brass hilts ,
If they were that cheap and common, we would find thousands as iron ones tulwar hilts.
In india, Brass allows a lot of artistic skill fantasy from centuries and has strong ritual uses
