i found these realy beautifull sword by my search in the www.
maybe someone would like tell more over these sword.
i beginn with the descr...
"Museum Quality India Firangi
18th c Firangi, most likely made for Royalty. Finest quality sword I've ever had the privelage to hold. Thick gold koftgari floral decoration over the entire hilt. Exceptional condition for it's age. Only small losses of koftgari. (shown in photos) Unmarked blade is still extremely sharp. Padding appears to have been replaced during the mid-late 19th century. Grip wire appears to be a mixture of silver and senew and is original to the sword. A similiar item was sold at auction for $40,000. Blade is 34.75 inches long."
