The hilt looks Indian to me, like on a tulwar. That style of hilt does turn up with a variety blades though, curved, straight and even yataghan. I have seen them with imported European blades as well.
So My guess is Indian in origin, and the blade...for dancing, ceremonial, religious procession , the etching makes me think non functional as a weapon though. Last edited by David R; 6th April 2012 at 05:01 PM. Reason: rephrasing. |

The hilt is Indian. The blade is Persian, 19th C 'Qajar revival' ceremonial blade.
But not a proper match for proper Indo-Persian sword, they do not belong to each other. You may even notice the base of the blade was narrowed to fit the handle. |

Salaams all~ Late Qajari ( as late as 1920) Ceremonial blade on previously identified Indian Hilt. Interesting scroll or fabulous garden / tree of life decoration.
