Hi TVV!

I whould have never thought in a million years it was from India!

With the metal chain on the hilt I whould have thought it was middle eastern/turkish.Considering I have seen many Iranian/Turkish cavalry swords with sutch metal chains on them.That is what led me to believe it was Turkish.Keep in mind the Metal blobs on it are my own repair work.Is this a relative of the jambiya or not.The one book I read said it might be Mexican.

Thanks for the help so far!
