Hehe, funny there being another such piece for discussion at the same time.

Welcome to the forum, Josue. As you can see from the other thread, this sword is of the zulfiqar type. It is indian and it may perhaps be called a tulwar. Search the forum for the following key-words and you'll learn more:

tulwar
firangi
zulfiqar/zulfikar
khanda

Here's a good shorcut: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2550

I may have written this on another thread, but E. Jaiwant Paul has one such sword in his "Arms and Armour, Traditional Weapons of India" identified as a 16th century Pahari sword from Himachal or Uttar Pradesh (Northern India). Don't know how likely that date is, but there you have it.

Regards,
Emanuel
