hi guys
i got in my collection these sword with an serated blade. the blade measure straight at the back 71cm. the lenght over all is 87cm and the curve is 10cm deep. i think it is from the 19.ct. it was bought from an german diplomat in north indian (today pakistan)before the ww.2. the blade shows at one side an seal and at the hilt you can see the rest from the old silver kofgari. at the surface from the blade i can only see an slight steel texture so i hope it is from wootz steel.
i hope someone can tellme more over the se kind of swords!!
