A mans strength and wisdom is much like a fine sword, refined by fire folded by a expert craftsman and finally when you have a perfect sword or man you are sharpened and honed and you never loose your edge if your Maker is God the Father.

Akiyatan,

I'm afraid the Marwari has made a bakra out of the two brothers and they thence out of you. The sword hilt (pics 2&3) is not kuftgari, it's kundan kari. And the hilt is new. No doubt about that. I suspect the blade is no more than 70-80 years old. The katars are cast iron, not tempered steel. Nothing wrong in that, but they will be a bit brittle.
