two indian sword for identification
 

hi

can you identify these two indian sword

thank you

Tourist grade and completely reworked swords IMO :shrug:

My best guess they are souvenir-type renditions of indo-persian swords in the arapusta style ( serrations on both the edge and the back). They seem to be rather small and extremely curved, making them less than ideal for real fighting. Wall-hangers rather than weapons.

had the same opinion but I wanted your opinion,

thank you

If memory serves me right, there is a senior member on vikingsword who recently posted a picture of a short sword with a similar hilt and an extremly curved blade (no serrations). His was authentic but I cant seem to remember who it was... Let me see if I can find that thread now

Hi Stan, I am no senior member but I posted a pic of my version of this type of sword ( no serrations ) on the 22 Jan this year... you were kind enough to comment on it .

Well, judging from the number of posts you are more senior than me :D I can't seemto find the thread inquestion. Could you prove a link please?
