Hello,

I have cleaned my Tulwar which was almost only rust. Which seems to be very common with these sword. But in doing so I discovered I could read the stamps on the sword. Strangely these are Latin letters and numbers.

NRA 428

Were their British regiments in india or during the afghan wars fitted with these kind of weapons and then stamped with regiment codes?

Thank you for your help in advance!
