Guys

I'm not sure that Elgood 2011 is the best reference...
I like pdf but i prefer books...
For me the best reference is Elgood 2015 in his Jaipur book
look at pages 128-129 sword kota or bundi
The discussion fits perfectly to the sword posted

Regarding guard additions and perforations I share two I've had with those features (hopefully I can attach the photos correctly):

Just a side note, that could very well be a patterned blade, welded or better. Hilts such as these tended to be favoured by the upper classes and tended to have better blades than most. I have a very similar one with a copper dome similar to that of a pulwar that sits atop its semi-basket hilt. Would interest me to know why that is even there, I'll post pictures...eventually. First post, so still getting used to the etiquette
