I would have to agree. This appears from top to bottom to be an Indian or Nepalese 'ram dao' sacrificial sword.

Hi to all,
I have referred the matter back to the seller and he concedes that the item may well be Indian.
Regardless of origin, I like it very much and am pleased to have it in my collection.
Thanks to all who commented.
Best,
Brian

You should be very pleased...it is, indeed, a very nice example of a ram dao.
