Lew, very Nice, as always! :)
Would choora have been carried in addition to a larger edged blade, for example a khyber knife? To clarify what I'm asking, What sword would have gone with the choora?...

First Talibon?
G'day,
I thought this may be of WWII vintage? or maybe earlier?
Blade:17 1/2 in
Handle: 6 3/8 in
Spine: 7 mm then gradual distal taper to tip.
It seems quite decently made to me.
Cheers :)
