something i noticed right away was that the blade was shorter (only 23 inches long) than most tulwars ive seen before. perhaps this made it a better hand to hand combat weapon than the longer horseback tulwars?

maybe it was an infantry weaspon?

My understanding is that the hilt with an acute widening in the middle (almost triangular) is characteristic of Sikh Khalsa.
