Without resources at hand, very attractive example of what appears to Mughal court sword of N.India, but its hard to categorize regionally. The high relief baroque decoration with what seems a Udaipur (squared base)style langet, seems unusual.
The blade resembles Persian trade blades end of 18th c. with the channeling.
Mughals were quite fond of floral decoration, and need to look further into references.
