Default Yes...another Tulwar but with strange marking?

Hi everyone,

Katana,

The script is in Devnagri.
Has to be a Hindu Tulwar, probably Rajput.

Katana, maybe it would be easier to see the different letters if you could make a drawing of them.

Hi Jens,
thank you, I am waiting for the sword to be delivered.....I'll draw the letters when the Tulwar arrives.
