Identification of mysterious Firangi/Saif Indian Sword
I acquired this sword about 2 or 3 years ago. When I bought the sword I was told it is a Saif. But the blade seems european so I believe it may be a Firangi. I was reading up on Firangis, and i read that the earlier Firangis were european blades mounted on tulwar hilts, and later on the basket hilt Firangis came. I would appreciate if someone could offer some info on this sword. Thanks!
