Default tulwar

very nice tulwar, very ornate hilt.

regarding the inscription, indeed sikhs do not have any association with black magic. Also, this text is not inscribed in Gurmukhi (or punjabi) which was the language of the sikhs at that time (as well as present)
Some of the sikh scriptures where written in sanskrit but this is not sanskrit either.
(pictures attached of sanskrit and gurmukhi alphabet)
