script or scratchings on sacrificial? Tegha Tulwar

[naborow]

I got help in identifying my sacrificial(not sure) sword as a Tegha tulwar, 19th C Rajastan.
I'm posting better pictures of the inscribings (don't know what to call them) on the top wide part of the blade. Its long so its hard to get in one photograph. and reposting full blade for context.

too crude for a decoration. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Could you post horizontal pics with a little more focus?

I'm not 100% sure but this doesn't look like a script to me.

thanks for the help with the images. when i look closely at the images they have small bands of brass? around the wrists and ankles. really cool

regarding the etching on the wide part of the blade, i hope these are clearer. They look good in camera, but then fuzzier when i upload even thou i put camera on macro

i divided into four sections. there is a character like an elongated X which separates the sections.
it looks like block characters, but if not script What?? initials ? date? would value your input.
