The primary difference is a material - back in the days tulwar hilts were almost always made of iron or steel. However most of the ones made after 1920s are often brass or brass based alloys. .
Interesting observation Stan, these has also been my expierience with the use of brass instead of steel Indian or Nepelese kukri. {Interestingly not the admitadly very rare Afghani made military ones though.}
