not my field but blade looks like it was taken off a tulwar. A common practice with some eastern European sellers.

Thanks for your answers!
Now, as you name it, the blade looks indeed quite similar to a Tulwar. Cheers Andi |

Keep in mind that many tulwars were fitted with European trade blades.

indeed, that's why i said 'appeared'. my reference said the comments on it at the time were that it was based on the hussar sabres of the east and also a resemblance to indian tulwars was mentioned. i imagine soldiers as well as design engineers of the period were familiar with all these styles.
