I can copy from my markdown file based on a quick glance through Egerton and some catalogue searches.

Yataghan, Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 32.75.261a, b <https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/23379>

Peshkabz eg. Victoria and Albert Museum, object 3436&A/(IS) <https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O...heath-unknown/> British Museum object As1982,11.3.a <https://www.britishmuseum.org/collec..._As1982-11-3-a> British Museum object As1982,11.2.a-b <https://www.britishmuseum.org/collec...s1982-11-2-a-b>

Some Khyber knives like Victoria and Albert Museum, object IM.218&A-1920 <https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O...heath-unknown/> (there may be others in the V&A)

Possibly this tulwar-hilted, saw-toothed broadsword, V&A Museum object 3142(IS) <https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O...sword-unknown/>

I have not looked into the 19th-century South Asian swords which get very broad towards the tip.
