silver koftgari tulwar
Origin: North India
Date: Blade circa 1800, Hilt second half 19th C.
Size: 34 inches
Ref: SD18024
Price: SOLD
A clean example of a 19th century North Indian ‘Tulwar’ sword (blade possibly 18th century).
The steel hilt is of open guard form with a domed pommel and decorated with silver Koftgari overlay in geometric and floral design, which remains approximately 100% intact.
The blade is of substantial construction with a broader width than most typical Tulwar examples. The width of the blade is almost Tega like providing an excellent weight and feel to the sword.
Some light surface wear to the blade with the hilt remaining in mint condition.
