Default Indian Cobra Sword

Hi all,
Here are pics of my latest purchase. With exchange rate differences, and Customs duties, it cost me a bundle. But I like it.
Probably not so good for thrusting, as the weight is towards the tip of the blade and it is not well balanced in the hand. However, the serrated edge is sharp and with the weight balanced as it is, it would be a fearsome slashing weapon. Just the sight of it coming towards me would scare me to death, no need to hit me with it! Dated maybe from 1700's?
All comments welcome.
Best regards
Brian
