So it were you who outbid me???
Well, at least this tulwar found himself an educated and devoted owner. Enjoy each other! I think Jim is onto something, and this something is "Arab connection" This blade has clear similarity with South Arabian nimcha, with its widened distal part. I think it is a naval sword, likely from Southern India. |

I know absolutely nothing about this sword, but as an observation, the fact that it has a sturdy pommel ring, would suggest that some sort of lanyard could have been attached to avoid loss of the weapon.........so could it have been used on horseback?, or, if as has been suggested, it is for naval usage, to avoid loss overboard?
