YES, I found my Pulwar. The bin price and the triangular dots eye lash marks were too compelling. It cleaned up readily with soap and water, later soapy and worn out 2000 grit paper and some Maas polish helped remove larger stains. Oddly, the blade has old very fine serrations?? There isn’t an indication the blade has ever been re sharpened. No tempering or well defined scarfing areas just a couple of questionable areas. A lot of bits slag or hard rust persists in the blade surface. The blade is Chameleon like going from grey patterned to flashy with a change of light direction. Maybe, stamped as another East India Company item?? It feels right and handles well a total weight 1 pound 14 ounces.
