Hi Delor,
I think you're correct, looks like a remounted yataghan blade with the guard emulating a European hunting sword and the shape of the hilt reminiscent of some late 18thC cavalry swords. It would be worthwhile posting the blade stamp on the Ethnographic part of the Forum as you're more likely to get info regarding that part of the sword there. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. The blade might be of Indian origin also, I'm sure a member more knowledgeable with come up with the right answer.
