Dont know age, but i would guess end of 18/ begining 19, with arow pointing more on 19 than 18.
But blade, more markings than blade alone seams to mimic italian blades, that one sign is atempt on marca de mosca sign, and other if im not wrong a pi mark.
Im prety sure it is not wootz.
Usual indian tulwar, it was pined in cross guard, they more often put those on pulwars than on tulwars.
P.s. That wasnt repair, that was a place where guard was atached and curwed to pomel disc in that recesion.
