Another tulwar ... to join the others

Tulwars are still crossing my way

.
This one, if i compare it to the others i have recently acquired, has a much slimmer ( not shorter ) grip.
It also has a rather curved blade. This one is quite narrow at the forte, although reasonably thick.
The handle had some repair, apparently in the period, resulting that the disc and dome became a bit loose from the fixing rivets.
Also this is the first time i have a tulwar with the handle fixed with one pin, besides the usual resin; does this define the geographic origin of this piece ?
Coments will be wellcome.
Thanks
Fernando
