Interesting Tulwar with faint engraved design....Any Ideas ?

[katana]

Thanks Spiral,
nice functional piece, unusual to have such a quality blade with a plain-ish hilt, 'bricked up in an old farm house' ..... strange but

I fairly certain that this Tulwar is Indian, the blade is fixed in the traditional
way (resin) and the hilt, although slightly unusual, is 'within' the range of normal size. When viewed from the top the 'width' widens as it reaches the langets, a feature I have not seen before.
