The blade comes from an Indian tulwar, as has already been suspected. The hilt is atypical, too chunky for a typical karabela. However, the individual parts look age-appropriate. In the best case, this is a Turkish production made from old parts, in the other case a Frankensword.
Save your spiteful replies, Serdar. I only come here every few months to see what's new anyway.

Awdaniec, why?
I wasnt one who was spitful on my polish saber post, for me that is over and past.
Can we be normal from now on?
I agree, as you saw up, i suspected it is indian indo-persian blade, i think it is 18/19 century made, i dont see signs of use, so i would say more 19 century, not used.
I dont think that it is newly put together, but after what i saw in past time, nothing is 100%.
But about hilt, one guy in my country, has a few examples of genuine 100% real polish karabelas whose origin is tracable so no tampering or faul business, and they also have a similar "chunky" hilts, not all but two does have similar hilts.
