Marwar(???) hilt and a Gill's blade

Since you ask Ariel, no I would not pin point it to Marwai at the moment.
There are postulates, but no arguments why it should be from there.

"Kissing birds" is the original Rajasthan motif very popular in Jodhpur (!) and Jaipur.

I agree: it is most likely Rajasthani. Marwar is a part of Rajasthan and historically it included Jodhpur. No arguments here. Jaipur is not a part of Marwar.

But, as Jens is saying, why is this handle specifically Marwari and not from some other Rajasthani principality?
