Thank's a lot Jim for  
The details and tulwar hilt history, 
I just wanted to add the weight of the hilt: 
440 grams/ almost 1 pound 
 
Maybe little  too heavy for a fighting model 
But above all much more than the light weight of the brass hilt I saw in decorations talwars of the mid 20th and up... 
Suits well in the hand, that's what I liked when I bought it
