1780's - 1800 tulwar, Udaipur region of India, with domestically produced blade. Koftgari on steel hilt.
1796 pattern sabre of American Manufacture, war of 1812 period (likely slightly earlier, 1810/11).
And finally, to ruin it all, a placeholder reproduction shamshir. Will be replaced by one of the following, which are purchased but not yet delivered.
A ~1799 French Light Cavalry Officers sabre.
A ~1900 Imperial German Diplomats sword.
A 1780-1790 Wootz Kilij.
I have other walls covered in reproductions (not worth photographing, really. Mostly wallhangers to represent historical Polish sabres that I'll never afford) and training swords, as well as other scattered antiques like a 1700ish Karabela, and a wz1934 Polish Sabre, but they're in temporary storage pending me building a new panel.
