1821 Variation for an Indian Officer Circa 1837?

Here are my two pipe back blades. One is completely from India, the other pattern is a French AN 9 with an ultra high quality non-European blade from Turkey or India.
The AN9 is from very early 19th ct. the Tulwar is unknown, probably somewhere in the 19th ct..

As far as I know the inventors of the pipe back blade are the Ottomans, maybe as the well known Pala-sword.

These blades has been made in Ottoman Empire, India and Europe. They were highly desired in Europe from the early to mid 19th ct..
