It appears to be an Indian Moroccan Malay hybrid.

...so there are at least two of these (whatever they are) in existance! The one in the previous post,(and thanks for the link), has very different blade decoration, and the scabbard has two bands, where mine does not have any. Also the decoration at the scabbard mouth and on the hilt against the scabbard is diofferent. Mine is all circle shape decoration and the other is not. Comparative pics attached......
....which means we have an Indian hilt maker who likes moroccan style blades??..... or they are in fact some unknown Moroccan sword/knife. I see from the comments in the other post, that that particular one came with a Nimcha.....so Morocco??
But still the question....What is it?
