What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This is an Indian Talwar sword. These swords were created in the Mughal period and onward, and illustrate a blending of Islamic weapon styling with traditional Indian motifs. The blade is thickest out towards the end, and weighted effectively for chopping. These swords developed a reputation for amputating limbs in combat. This particular piece is in excellent condition. The blade has some light pitting present, and the iron handle has a stable patina. The sheath is intact and in good shape. Given the condition of this piece, and completed auctions of similar items, a fair market estimation is 500-550 dollars. Please reach out with any questions.
