Rajput Tulwar stamp?

its 100% antique and not a reproduction.. the blade is very thick and heavy and not formed from steel metal..

I do own another example similar with gold and silver work. You can get nearly mint antique koftghari tulwars but they set you back a arm and a leg..

It is hard to say from the pictures. but I have seen other hilts of this type, not with quite the same decoration, with blades marked with a Kishangarh etchings, and I have been told about another woth an etching from Rutlam State 1876.

How thick is the blade?
Can you write the letters down under the langet?

Hi Jens , i'll measure the thickness of the blade and get some more images for further research. I'll post new copies of this hilt too for comparison.

I will try and copy the stamp also..
