Indo-Persian Tulwar. . ...
Description
Indo-Persian Tulwar.Measuring 33 1/4-inches in blade length, this example has a curved blade and a traditional iron hilt of classic Tulwar form. The hilt is plain and functional, without decorative embellishment, and terminates in a flat disc pommel fitted with a domed cap and button. No scabbard is present. Note: The Tulwar was the standard sword of the Indian subcontinent for centuries, used by warriors, nobles, and soldiers alike. Its distinctive disc pommel and curved blade made it highly effective for slashing cuts from horseback, while the simplicity or ornamentation of the hilt often reflected the rank of its owner.
Condition: Good overall. The hilt displays a dark, even patina. The blade edge shows a few trivial nicks but remains sharp, with scattered dark spotting and areas of fine pitting.
