I will always remember years ago when researching swords used by Sikh's and was told by a Sikh, "if it was used by a Sikh, then it is Sikh".
Ultimately what he was saying is that there are not distinct edged weapons used by Sikhs, and barring inscriptions in gurmukhi, it would be hard to classify a weapon as distinctly 'Sikh'.
As far as I have known, most Sikh swords are not often inscribed, though obviously as with any type weapon, there will be cases.
On that note, I would be most interested to see examples of Sikh inscribed tulwars as I confess I have never seen one.
