Chinese River Pirate's Knife?

This strikes me as being a Chinese River Pirate's Knife, even though it does not have the typical blade configuration.It measures 17" long.

Might also be a Spanish colonial knife. That style of D-hilt is seen on some espada ancha. The blade could be from an old cut down sword.

That would be my second guess, however based on the crude blade fullers, the style of the guard, the bosses holding the handle in place, and the scabbard, I'm still leaning towards Chinese.
