Two comments:

1) Silver koftgari decoration and twisted steel imitation on blades and hafts is very common also in Persian blades and axes, especially on late Qajar period. But equally I will not argue with Chuck. It could be Indian as well although my intuition say Persian

2) Trident spears are not only Indian. One can find it in many cultures from Africa to China. Just for example see below tridents from Persia, India and China (I also have somewhere a trident spear from Sudan but I need to locate it)
