Default Firangi blade - India or Germany?

I have this long (127cm) firangi. Do you think the blade is made in India or Germany? Second picture is the ridge of the blade.
Thanks for looking!

From the marks, I suspect the blade will also be Indian. If the blade is springy to light flexion, that would more favor German; if less flexible then most likely Indian.

I agree with Lee. It's always difficult to be 100% without having it in hand. The blade fullering resembles a British blade but is not. Very nice sword!
