India, Mid to Late 19th Century, Curved Blade Talwar Sword

Original era manufacture. A clean example of an all steel construction Indo-Persian Pulwar, or Talwar sword.  Polished steel, with a yataghan curved blade measures 29 inches in length tip to guard. The surface of the blade displays an even steel patina, with some areas of light surface pitting, and a sharp cutting edge. Steel guard, grip and pommel cap, with a skull crusher projection on the top of the pommel.  Definitely not one of the tourist trade swords, this is a well made sword. No scabbard.
