New tulwar sword

Nice sword, actualy a very nice sword, and what looks like a good "watered steel" blade, mechanical damaske (laminated steel) rather than "wootz",....both are good, but according to H.R.Robinson mechanical tends to be older than wootz. If there is a pin through the hilt that is usualy a sign of Afghan origin and so a "Puhlwar" rather than a "Tulwar". (spells it how you want, it is a phonetic transliteration of a dialect word in a foreign language).
