Hopefully these are better. Here is how the seller described it:
"5 3/8 curved d.e. blade. The front with large chiseled panel incorporating numerous Arabic or Hindi characters, likely identifying the owner and date. Reverse with crisp maker's mark. One piece horn hilt with white metal mounts. Black leather covered scabbard with matching WM mounts".
If it is a tourist item wouldn't you expect to see others similar to this occasionally? They would not make just one, right?
