Perhaps, we are talking about different swords and the confusion is entirely my fault.
The first "short sword" has a "pulwar" handle: Afghanistan is my first choice, Deccan distant second.
But I am confused about the second "short" one" I cannot recall such handle on Afghani swords. Deccan or even more south-ward is my assumption. Do you agree?
The 3rd "short" one has a typical ubiquitous Mughal handle, but the fullers on the blade make me think Afghanistan.
