Indian Tulwar-Hilted Yataghan Saber


Indo-Persian saber commonly associated with cavalry or other mounted groups. Notable features are the disc-shaped tulwar pommel but with an re-curved or in-curved yataghan blade - weighted towards the business end. Commonly found in this configuration mainly in India, but can also be found in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and perhaps other contiguous regions.
