I agree. Especially coftgari. Looks new in comparison to the blade. Based on pictures it is hard to tell if it's wootz or mechanical. Nice composite sword though:-)

Yeah, the gold koftgari overlay art is new and the pearl handle is also new...but the blade is old.
Anyway good combination of handle, art and blade.

The scabbard is the signature of the artist: Indian :)

I wonder if someone can trust mother of pearl in battle :D
