An extremely unique Indopersian double bladed short sword, ID berde!

Still looks like a fantasy wall hanger piece, no details on the not that old book entry as to date, location of origin, etc. 'rare' could also mean they didn't make many because nobody wanted them. Just because someone paid that amount doesn't mean it's worth that to anyone else. If the blades were good & properly heat treated, I'd cut them in half, fix/round off the pommels, polish the casting seams away, and have two nice more useful knives. But that's just me.
