Garuda Sabre

Just acquired a western style sword with what appears to be a garuda pommel/grip. Couldn't find any info on the internet, but found this post by our member Kubur as a 'real sword' with no other details. Kubur is not PM-able.

Can anyone flesh out the details, age & where it's from?

Thanks for any info.
Mine: (needs some tlc)

Ah, well. At least it doesn't seem to have the 'Shaver Cool' cartouche or VOC markings. My memory had faded on that old one & it didn't pop up on doing a search. Didn't think to use "VOC". It was cheap - Probably go on the oops pile. A reminder that "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't". I had a few doubts, next time I'll listen to them. Meanwhile, I'll blame the Dog for not stopping me.
