Info on this unique (tulwar) blade please
 

Can anyone help with the date and origins of this piece please( mughal hilt maybe?)

Also what is this blade called as i have only seen one like it and thats in the Wallace Collection, London.

It's very beautiful.

I have a silver hilted Tulwar with a standard shape blade of that kind of Wootz.
I believe that the blade is of Indian manufacture. I've not seen one of that shape before. I'm VERY jealous!

Thank you for your response Atlantia lol, i do like this blade very much because of the rarity of it.

And the condition is magnificent! Very lucky :)

Hello dear Forum-Members,

this sword is a typical "Nawaz Khani", probably from the Deccan. There is a very nice example in the Wallace Collection. Its blade shows the signature of Assaddulla Isfahani. For that reason it might be a falsificate, as I only know shamshirs made by him. Cameron-Stone also mentions that type.

With my kind regards,

Ronald

Beautiful piece, Congratulations :)

Off-topic: is such a sword tip effective?

Thank you Ronald for the name of the blade.

Certainly it is effective. The shape of the concave "clip" is such as to bring the point back in line with the hilt, as far as I can tell on my computer screen. The edge bevel seems to become somewhat blunter/stronger/more axelike in the convexly curved tip area.
I had a 20th century Visayan sword with a blade shape a great deal like this...
