I've...

It has features that look almost reminiscent of the Malabar Moplah Ayda Katti.
Especially around the base of the blade.

twistcore Keris for comment

Had to buy (again) covered in thick grease. Was the star pattern twistcore pamor that attracted me but I didn't expect the black stain to be so 'thick' after cleaning.
So what have I done this time?

What is the sword?
Austrian M1861 Infantry Officers?

That would fit with my initial thoughts that the Coronet was representing an Austrian/German 'Freiherrnkrone' (Barons Coronet)

I'd guess it...

Looks like a coronet over something.
Coronet seems to have seven pearls?
Austrian/German?
A Freiherrnkrone (Barons Coronet)?

Is that a knotted rope underneath? A naval symbol?

I thought that originally, but the shape although ragged through etching seems uniform and deliberate.
Only two barbs and they are symetrical. :shrug:
