Nice (wootz?) Khanda-Hilted Firangi for sale

[laEspadaAncha]

For sale is my lonnngggg khanda-hilted firangi, with an overall length of about 47.5" / 1.2m. Double-fullered blade is in minty condition and measures approx. 40" / 1m+ in length. Shows hints of wootz, which I guess would imply an Indian-made blade (in the pattern of an imported firing blade)? The old collector tag, which I've left on since I bought it, attributes it to 16th-17th century, though I think it's 17th-18th c. No markings on the blade or hilt. A nice example of the type... :)

$800 + shipping

FWIW, I'm selling this piece to pay for another piece I just bought out of the same collection. I already have it "traded" tomorrow for this much in auction credit, but would rather sell it so I can replenish what I just spent. Otherwise, come another few days, I'm going to have some 'splaining to do... (http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky4i4uATjO1qappf9o1_400.jpg) ;)

Anyway, below are a couple more pics...

I might consider selling it for slightly less, "slightly" being the operative word because of the aforementioned trade offer, so feel free to fire your best shot... :)
