thank you!

Salaams AkaaliSingh This is an interesting blade although it appears to have attracted some doubt as to originality but that is a very difficult task to perform on a photograph ...nevertheless it is interesting from that viewpoint...and discussion about originality aren't all bad..
From my perspective I am interested in the Talismanic square used to decorate this blade and the other inscriptions noting the dotted style in application. I see that the inscription was inlaid with gold and that this has mostly worn off. Perhaps gold work has been applied/reapplied to the hilt and then an older blade has been matched?
