Yes you are right Kurt. It is a very strange text.
I asked the one who translated the text for me, and he could not give an explanation of what it could mean. |

To my eyes, this looks like a late 19th - early 20th century Khanda, made for European collector market.
In this context the inscription may have been added for purely decorative reasons, to increase the marketability of the sword. |

Dear Jens , Many years ago when I bought the Khanda I made a trip to Rajastan, there I showed the inscription to an Indian scholar, he translated Badur Singh. ???? Kurt |
