Description: | Indian sword, tulwar, the single edge straight blade swollen towards the sharpened roof-shaped tip. The iron hilt has flattened quillons and an integral knuckle bow. This blade shape is not usually associated with this type of hilt, and may be a later “marriage”. The knuckle bow is thin and barely of functional gauge.
