Hi Sandeepsingh
This is the best i could get, hoping these were the blade details you meant. These situations are dificult to capture; they are certainly more visible at naked eye, although not much pronounced, as i previously said.
So the dots are maker's marks ?! Could you tell what region they are from ?
Would you agree that the brass nickled hilt is end 19th century, and the blade is certainly older ?
Thank you for your further coments
Fernando

Thanks for the more detail images.
Now i can conclude that the blade is made up of Damascus Steel with Cloudy or wavy pattern.
The hilt seems 20C. but the blade is 19C.
Dots or strokes are the makers mark probably from Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh region.
