Hello

This is my second post and I have an Indian Tulwar to seek advice on.The hilt has remnant gold koftgari. It has three marks on one side of the blade and I have seen this mark and fullering on an Indian Kirach from the 18th century. The three fullers run most of the 82cm blade. The spine thins to the blade edge thickness for the last 25cms. The langet style seems also early. Blade seems to have some amateur cleaning that is evident in hand unfortunately with scratches from a wire brush. It was sold as 19th C but I though it was earlier.

All thoughts welcome.
