If the year is 1064, it is hardly VS - so why don't you say so?

Hi all,


Could we have a close up of the script there???

Looks Devanagari and the last word and digits clearly indicate "San 1064" meaning "year 1064"


Thanks,
Bhushan Lawate

It seemed like a solid piece at the auction viewing, but the split tip isn't something I'd be very comfortable about going into battle with, so perhaps a fighting sword converted to a ceremonial one by re-shaping the tip?
