From Czerny's auction. Ended not sold.
Wooden grips, nielloed fitting on the eared pommel, "indian" ricasso, fullers resemble Afghan work. I am lost... Where from, how old? |

My bet is Central Asia, Bukhara or thereabouts!

I also think it is Indian/Afghani.

The point of the blade reminds me of some pulwar I have seen.

David,
I do not think so. Yours is a classical "Bukharan" saber of a shashka-like form with 5 rivets ( we discussed them already). The one from Czerny's is a totally different animal, IMHO. Much closed to the Afghani "pseudo-shashka". P.S. A friend of mine from Belarus sent me pics of that sword published on another auction. Here we can see the upper part of the blade with the "box-like" system of fullers. AFAIK, this is very typical of Afghani blades. |
