My guess is that it is a pulowar and not a tulwar due to the flattened quillons.
The hilt though seems a bit rough in the casting and the wing nut on the finale is a modern touch. The blade is most likely a 19th century European blade. I think this is a post 1948 melding of new and old parts probably done for some officer in the newly formed Pakistan army around 1950. Lew |
