Help with possible Indian tulwar sword

Ian Crouch · 1st June 2006, 11:11 AM

Greetings,

I am trying to get some idea of the age and origin of a sword that I have come across. It looks very old and while the blade and hilt is slightly damaged and rusted the blade is in fact curved, and although rusted, surprisingly sharp. I am in the process of taking some better photos which I can post tomorrow if this will help with the id. Searches on the web have not come up with any similar "perforated baskets". Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

Regards

Ian
