This is a rare cousin of the Tulwar, the famous Indian sword / saber. It is known as Kirach or Karach and it is characterized by the down curving blade with the edge on the concave side and the down curving spine with a false edge. This one is a very well made fighting weapon and meant for business. The blade is 31 inches long with 9 inches false edge forged from good Indian Damascus wootz (crystalized) steel and marked with the armory sign on the left side just below the langet and on the spine. The hilt is typical whole steel made. Very Good condition. The blade has seen several sharpening processes during its life time but all done properly, although few sharpening signs are left on it. This sword comes with a newly made scabbard (not shown). Excellent investment.
