Default old or not?

Sire,i had many plain talwars in my hands in the last years with where for arming footsoldiers , mainly untrained farmers and normal people to send them in to battle in great nummbers. so in india there where arsenals full of low grade wapeons in big heaps . many of these where sold of for no money as wallhanges 100 years ago. if this is such a item, it is still a piece of history even if there is no money value on it! also in india the blades are commonly glued in the handles. (not all) you have a good chance that this is a sword for that purpose!greetings iskender
