I know I've seen this hilt style before, but can't quite pin-point it. The flat disc guard looks Span colonial, as do the bolts/screws through the hilt. The odd quillon reminds me of Singhalese kastanes as does the odd twisty metalwork. The blade is plain, tip rounded and unmarked, typical trade blade.
