One of the best references for these is Elgood's "Hindu Arms and Armor". He shares a number of museum examples that largely date from the 16th and 17th century. When you are trying to date earlier examples you have to go to stone sculptures and look for stylistic clues for dating purposes. The earlier examples were battle ready swords with blades meant for business. The later examples have thin blades and we're ceremonial in nature. Some of these can be quite old. I'm sure others might jump in on age estimation but my guess on this one would be 16th or 17th century.
