Default (really) old tulwar with yelman for ID

Hello everyone, It's been a long time since I posted an item.
Here's a saber I recently found. I find.it interesting.
It's not in very good condition, but I think it's an older model, and the blade has remained very sharp.
the shape with the yelman reminds me of the Mughal origin.
I was able to remove the old black rust patch that had formed, quite a bit of work....
This allowed me to see two identical hallmarks on either side of the blade and another one at the base with a particular shape. The blade is maybe made of wootz.
The hilt is also interesting: old repairs, and I don't know if it's wootz.
There are remnants of koftgari on the end of the pommel.
Do you have any idea of ​​the saber's provenance and age?
