Default South Indian flamboyant
Here is the Rawson picture. It looks to be a close match to your sword.

Note: Not all Old Hindu hilts are found on Nair swords. The Madras origin for Rawson's example would put the sword on the East coast of southern India, not the West coast where the Nair were located.
