Historical Information
A talwar, talwaar, or tulwar (Urdu:تلوار) is a type of sword, equivalent to the European sabre (or saber), originating in medieval South Asia dating back to at least the 13th century. It was influenced by the Persian shamshir and the Turkish kilic. The difference between them is that the blade of a talwar is wider than the blade of a shamshir. Due to its growing popularity in the Mughal Empire, the talwar was also produced in 19th Century Afghanistan in form of the "Afghani talwar," or pulwar. Late examples often had European-made blades, set into distinctive Indian-made hilts.
