Its a beautiful blade, I wanted to get it. Glad you did.

I dont know why everyone assuming here that hollow ground is a European feature? I have seen and owned Persian and Indian blades with this feature, also European ones too.

Now the curvature, the ricasso under quillons, the tip shape and the thickness of the blade is a clear sign its not European and wootz, atleast thats what I thought when I saw it on Ebay.
