The dealer that I am looking at buying this from usually has many things that make reference to The Indo-Persian Wars

What wars are those?

Jim McD has identified the sword accurately, it has simply had a private purchase grip put on it. The Dutch and Germans also used a "karabela" form grip quite a bit on a variety of sidearms-- this is clearly a Western European piece.
