It does not look "oriental" to me.

This seems a bit crazy but the layout and style of the fullers is identical to a model 1832 US Artillery Sword. This sword was itself based on the famous French 1816 Artillery Sword nick-named the coupe-chou or cabbage cutter.
The 1832 US sword pictured has an 18'' (46 cm) blade. How large is your sword?

Its exactly what I think. It's a mix of stuff. Now I'm unable to say if its a recent mix or an old mix. The guard looks really Western medieval...Really strange...
