Default Old Firangi with unidentified maker's name

I have had this one for some time and it is in the original state that I received it. It has a traditional Indian basket hilt and a long straight blade on which is stamped a letter "T" over a name "HOLLI.." I have been unable to find a maker that corresponds to this mark. Anyone have suggestions?

Any idea of when this sword was made?


Here is an overall view of the sword:




The Indian basket hilt:




And the markings on the blade:
