In my admittedly limited opinion, the hilt triggered a synapse in my brain to fire, and the word "Deccan" came to mind. The blades of most Deccan knives are curved. Your straight blade seems to have Persian influence. To me, it is a beautiful piece. :)

Oh...and it is certainly not European (even though it may have been picked up there)

This is an item made for tourists in India in the early 20th century.
