Tirris does not say in his book. Only states that its 18th century, persian blade with indian hilt. Maybe its mughal but in terms of location, I am not too sure -

I would be careful of Tirri - his book has many many inaccuracies through out the book.

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?

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