Watering on a tulwar blade

yes, please! Don't tease us so! That's the base of the yelman? Note the fine filing marks, which seem cross-hatched at the koftgari, but unidirectional out across the blade?

The whole sword

Outstanding! Jens, can you tell us anything about this? Have you any provenance?

Is that koftgari Arabic or Farsi?

Hi Andrew,

This sword is what started me collecting, but unfortunately I have no provenience on it, other that I would say that it most likely is from Punjab, or maybe Rajasthan.
I don't know which language it is written in, but I have a translation from when it was exhibited at Davids Samling in Copenhagen in 1982.
