No doubt the seller is right: there are clear Indian motives including the famous peacock head.

It is very rich and show-y, but somehow it does not give a whiff of a true fighting sword. To me it looks more like an adornment.
It has no "wildness" , viciousness or brutality of the real yataghan. Kinda beautiful but very tame toy.
What do you think of it?
