This heavy wide blade sword is a variant of the Tulwar also known as Tega. It is characterized by the curved and wide blade. This one has a blade 29 inches long with 11 inches back edge and 2 ½ inches wide. It is forged from pattern welded steel (Damascus) but the blade need a proper polish and etching to bring the pattern to its full strength. The blade is chiseled with big images of Hindu gods and marked on the spine with what seems to be an armory catalog marking. The very fine hilt is relatively big and very richly inlaid with silver koftgari work. Wood scabbard covered with blue velvet and heavy silver chape. Total length 36 inches. Very good condition.
