Thank you Ariel for the photo's.
I have recently taken a interest in Bukhara sabers and can see some similar traits. I agree with Jim your blade looks Indian. The hilt is the interesting thing here. The grip I cannot identify (yet). The Bukhara saber has a similar bolster as yours but more closely resembles the bolster of a Khyber knife or Pesh-Kabz. Yours is a little different. I will see what I can find.
It is a very cool piece though!
All the Best
Jeff
