I was sarting to think that,so I have looked again with my jewellers loop and the blade is forged from a reserve of metal rectangular in section with no sign of grinding.After the perusal of a few publications there is the distinct possiblity that it is Afghan/Indian where the metal pieces either side and riveted through the blade is a common form of construction and may help explain the deviation from a more classic or conventional form and also why I could afford it.Tim

I still think that something is wrong with the proportions. I you, in your imagination, makes the blade as long as the tang is, or maybe a bit longer, then I think the proportions will fit.

It may well have a reasonable length tang but I can not see that without taking it apart.All I can say is , it is most certainly up to the job and feels very comfortable in the hand.Tim
