Yes you are right Kurt. It is a very strange text.
I asked the one who translated the text for me, and he could not give an explanation of what it could mean. |

To my eyes, this looks like a late 19th - early 20th century Khanda, made for European collector market.
In this context the inscription may have been added for purely decorative reasons, to increase the marketability of the sword.

Dear Jens , Many years ago when I bought the Khanda I made a trip to Rajastan, there I showed the inscription to an Indian scholar, he translated Badur Singh. ???? Kurt |
