I will follow this discussion with great interest as I am rather a novice here. I was unfamiliar with this style of sword and bought it because I liked the look of it and I wanted a sword with a Wootz blade. This what Artzi said on his site:
"This sword is of Indian origin, probably central or south India. It is usually referred to as Sousson pata or Sailaba. It is charecterized by the down curving blade, much in the shape of a Turkish Ytaghan blade and the tulwar style handle."
