Interesting piece, The faint zig zag etc markings were identical on the ricasso of this peace I had at one time. It is now in an established private Sikh collection.

I presumed it was Sikh or Afghani from either, Punjab or NWF Border area or maybe even into Khyber or some such perhaps?

it was about 22 inches long , all wootz crystaline steel. Strangly found bricked up in an old English famhouse wall during re building. Bit of wicca/earth magic I suppose.

I thought it seemed a very old piece.
