Default Nice (wootz?) Khanda-Hilted Firangi for sale

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
