It is indeed from India, and if anyone having a copy of Pant would check, there is I believe a distinct term for hilts with this theme with the rams head. The serrated blade is also of Indian form, the sword would be considered tulwar with Persian form hilt and is likely 19th century, from appearance in the photos. As always, difficult to say for certain without handling.
Nice sabre Galvano!
Best regards,
Jim
