A INTERESTING SWORD HOW BLADE AND HANDLE CAME TOGETHER

IF MORE SIMULAR EXAMPLES WERE KNOWN IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO TRACK DOWN ITS ORIGION AND A LIKELY TIME FRAME BUT WITH JUST THE ONE ITS NOT LIKELY. IF SOMEONE CAN IDENTIFY THE BLADE AS COMING FROM SOME SPECIFIC SWORD WOULD HELP.
A POSSIBLE SCENARIO COULD BE SOMEONE IMPORTED A LARGE LOT OF OLD TULWAR SWORDS OR BLADES AND MADE THEM UP IN THE LOCAL FORM FOR SALE TO THE LOCALS OR JUST SOLD AND TRADED THE BLADES AND THE LOCALS MOUNTED THEM. MANY TIMES OLD SURPLUS WEAPONS AND PARTS ARE SOLD OFF IN LARGE LOTS CHEAP AND ARE SPREAD FAR AND WIDE. GOOD LUCK
