Thanks Fernando and Sajen

Fernando, no that's not a signature. There's a fair bit of rust on that side and the brass inlay pattern has been broken up there,making it look perhaps like initials.

I'm sure India is correct, and I suspect it's pretty old.

It might even be described as "Indo-Persian". It may not show in the books because it's not strictly speaking a weapon.

It's a nice little oddity.
