Hello Jens,
I have been told that any sharp blade longer than 9" is considered a weapon and strictly prohibited in India. That's why all the newly made replicas have a dull edge and that's one reason why I couldn't find a single genuine sword at any of the antique dealers I have seen.
However, this is anecdotal and I didn't check the Indian legislation myself.
As with regards to the swords dumped in the sea, I don't know anything more than a vague memory about reading somewhere here on the forum about such an event, and it might be the one you mentioned.
