content: Information from Leonid Lantsman, 2014: An 18th c. Indian tegha, or executioner sword. This type was made with a tulwar handle of typical shape with a d-guard, and overlaid with Arabic caligraphy. The blade is multi-fullered and overlaid in gold at the forte with Arabic caligraphic inscriptions. The fullers display acid etching to approximate watered steel, but the steel is likely forged not watered or layered.
