Shame some Brit scratched all those letters on it. Must have lowered the price by a few million. Not what I'd call 'perfectly preserved, as noted it's a bit tarnished in spots.
Never trust an Autioneer's description, they lie to make more money from buyer's and sellor's commission fees. I'd call it a kirach myself. Tipu was known to like animalistic hilted weapons. Maybe I should engrave my Kirach an inscription saying it was captured from inside Tipu's commode, where he kept it for protection while planning his next movements.. |

Perhaps I'm mistaken but I was under the impression that a defining feature of a kirach was that it curves forward somewhat?

And sometimes more than somewhat.
