Age of indian sword?

This is no new sword. The wear on the hilt and pommel is in all the right places. The resin holding the blade in the pommel is exactly what you want to see. Certainly the blade could be a pattern weld or crystalline damascus wootz...only an etch will tell. The black spots on the blade and very minor pitting all look legit to me.

Congrats...you got yourself a good old tulwar with a hilt in very nice condition.
