Hi all! I picked this small, possibly well used, Indian style sword at a reasonable price. I am looking for some honest feedback. I have some ideas about it, but I do not want to influence the discussion at this juncture. I have cleaned it with Balisol and a sponge and I am trying to decide if I should proceed with a polish and an etch eventually. I am a bit backlogged on restoration projects currently.

The sword's overall length of 32", 81cm. The blade is 28", 71cm tip to hilt. The edge measures 29 1/4", 74.2cm. Wedge shaped blade without the steep Indian edge grind. There are remnants of what appears to be a non-widening, unsharpened, lenticular shaped yelman of 6 1/4", 16 cm.
