I have seen some, only found this two right now. One is a persian trade blade with a poulwar hilt the other has a good tulwar hilt.
The blade on your pala is top quality and surely made of good wootz, If it where mine I would try polishing and etching it to bring out the wootz pattern. The dress looks like late 19th, early 20th century, but it is possible that the scabbard is original and has been restored when the hilt was added.
Its a very attractive sword, the later parts only add to its history.

I have found one more example with pala type saber assembly.

Knowing that blade is a good quality and scabbard and hilt are later, just wonder how does that impact value of that item.

Is that worth similar to e.g. mentioned below, potential the same period of blade and hilt assembly, pala type saber? What would be your judgment? (apart of - it's worth as much as someone wants to pay)

As such sabers are not cheap that's important to know ...
