No doubt about that, Gav; i have noticed that too, but neglected such angle. However in a fantasy it could be a 'come and go', that is, a Firangi blade being traded to India for a local style sword and later remounted on an Eurpean type hilt.
On the other hand, a third possibility is now on the table; an Indian blade, with nonsense inscriptions ?
