The sword is typical of the very poorly made Asian Indian copies.
Terrible metal casting and finishing. The blade is poorly made also.
I hope you didn't put much money into it sir.

They certainly are of the same heritage
The second one appears to have some genuine age and looks well-made, especially in comparison with the first one. Unfortunately, the blade also appears to have been shortened considerably, making it now out-of-proportion to the hilt and thereby greatly lessening its possible value to a collector. Now it's more a relic than a collectable sword. I think the first one isn't even Indian, but more likely Chinese junk.
Nothing compares with pictures of the quality workmanship of a genuine example compared to the inferior work of a poorly made copy.
