An extremely unique Indopersian double bladed short sword, ID berde!

I'm afraid i agree with the rest here. This still looks like a fantasy weapon from the late 20th century. If it is in a book from 1983 it does mean it is much older than that date.
The blades do look fairly well made, bit the casting on the handle does not and there is still the problem that this weapon is rather impractical in battle. Also, given the way this weapon is meant to be held wouldn't we expect quite a bit of patina in that area if this was a real 19th century weapon? But there doesn't seem to be any or any wear in that area.
