19th century Indian/Mughal Taimurid Pulwar Sword with round filigree pommel hand guard with Verse written blade marked with inscription, Islamic Eastern. India

This rare 19th-century Mughal Taimurid pulwar is an exceptional example of Islamic Eastern warfare craftsmanship. Featuring a distinctive crescent-shaped, solid blade firmly set into a rare hand grip wrapped in solid silver wire, the sword reflects both strength and elegance.

The round filigree pommel and hand guard are finely detailed, bearing the Islamic Qur’anic verse “Nasrum Min Allahi, wa Fat'hun Qareeb” (“Help from Allah and a near victory”), while the blade itself is marked with additional verses, maker’s marks, and protective taweez motifs.

Measuring an impressive 3 feet 2 inches, this large war sword stands as a sturdy, one-of-a-kind piece that embodies the artistry, spiritual symbolism, and martial heritage of the Mughal era.

Measuring an impressive 3 feet 2 inches long
