Like several others have mentioned it is indeed Indian – and very much so. It’s a nice piece congratulations.

Jens,
The color of the hilt and the head at the chape is different from the color of the rest of the scabbard fittings. If I had to make a guess, I would say that the scabbard mounts are copper, while the hilt and the head are cast of brass.
What would be your guess on which part of India these originate from - Kutch?

Thank you,
Teodor
