tulwar

1863, George Smith, William Makepeace Thackeray (editors), The Cornhill Magazine, Volume 7, George Smith, page 42, Each man carries a tulwar,‡ as well as either a carabine or lance, besides sometimes on the day of battle, pistol and dagger. In the matter of slinging the tulwar, a useful hint is afforded to our dragoon officers.

1888, Charles MacGregor, Charlotte Mary Jardine MacGregor (editor), The Life and Opinions of Major-General Sir Charles Metcalfe MacGregor, Volume 1, William Blackwood and Sons, page 64, As I was not prepared for him (my back being partly turned to speak to my man), he was on me before I knew where I was, and had given me a cut on the head with his tulwar.
