I have seen examples of these swords with older blades. Sickle signed, European blades, wootz and even Indian ones.
Here is a photo for one that belongs to Alex with a Caucasian blade? the other photo is of a one I owned in the past, its more recent, lesser quality design but good quality silver. The blade is slim compared to the older ones even the older local ones.
