HELP!!! IS THIS TULWAR GOOD OR FAKE???

[Flavio]

Dear all, i need your help! I have bought this tulwar, the first and i know nothing of indian arms (i have bought Lord Egerton's book, but at this moment i'm reading Cato's book ). Seems to me a strange thing: the scabbard seems a very worn item, but the blade, even if hand forged and with some pitting of rust, give me a strange feeling The brass handle is nice, but when you look at this in the side view, you see the line of conjunction (but, if i'm not wrong, the indian steel hilt are made from one piece , but maybe i'm wrong!?!). So please help me to understand what i have here. Thank you for the help
