I have seen examples of Indian blades with this "kilij" style (curved blade with wider end and yelman), but I have only seen the yelman base work as shown in Jens original photo on Turkish blades. Jens talwar appears to be a purely 18th century Indian made tulwar, but with Turkish influence in style. I can see how this one can lead to a long and expensive road.
