Great! Enjoy it!
Old Indo-Persian weapons were not “regulation” ones: and this is why there are infinite differences between them.
G.C. Stone for example described “Khyber knives” blades varying in length between 14 and 30”. I have two with blades slightly less than 12” and one 34” ( proving old George too conservative:-)). Still, they are as “khybers” as could be. The longer ones served as “slashers”, the shorties as “ stabbers”.
