Looking at it again I think it is an "assembleage", blade ground down from an Indian copy of a Wilkinson, and the scabbard furniture, with its brass throat locket and steel chape, from out of the bit box, hilt pieces also from the box. With the standard Islamic invocation on the ricasso I think it aimed at the local market rather than the Western.
A nice item all the same, probably made within the last 30 years or so.
