Just an update. Been speaking to some experienced collectors. One pointed out an interesting fact. Said that the hilt is most likely of punjabi/lahore origin Based on its design. Maybe the blade was an import? Or off another sword and mounted on the hilt later?

Could it be a chemical reaction to something inside the scabbard?

All you ever wanted on Arabic numerals: Some of those characters you think are numbers, aren't.
