Splendid silver Tulwar for translation and comments

That blade profile and AA acid markings are indian, cartuches are too big and over dimensioned, and engraved by acid, indian blade 19 century maybe end of 18.

Filigree is not at all real filigree work with wire but a cast piece that is clearly visible from photos, real goldsmith filigree is braided silver wire, there is no wire on this piece, it is cast in a mould from uniform metal, and definetly it is not a real filigree work. And that cape and handle pieces doesent seem old indian work.

It should be examined in hands, but to me that doesent look older than 20 century, second half of 20.century (handle and scabbard).

It isnt similar to non of old tulwars or indian swords i have examined, but that fake filigree casting i have seen on a few indian tulwars and pulwars from 20 century.
