Thank you Jim, for your detailed thoughts on it. My saber actually came with a yali tipped knuckle bow guard, which was so close to the hilt that it came off when my friend tried to wield it.  
 
I do feel strongly that this blade is European. Thank you for the confirmation in regards to the double fullers. 
 
Cheers
