Does anyone have an idea about this blade?

Northern India maybe, but I very much doubt the Nepalese connection, I've had three Nepalese come back to me so far since I first posted here, including a kami, a former Captain (Nepalese) in the Gurkhas and a good friend, none of them recognise it so far, others to come back to me.

Why not the Philippines by the way? I have seen similar stuff out there

Panay Tenegre (Wiki) and a Pinute from here, posted by Laban tayo, whilst not exactly the same they show some similarity

The carving on the scabbard doesn't look right for Philippine work .
The only similarity I can see is in the type of guard .
