I believe it is Indian made in the "Persian" style, Since all these countries were most times ruled by the same dynasties, most of the arms and armour were about the same with little variations in specific areas. It is not missing the top spike, the top hole would be to put feather or plumes. At least that is how the hole looks to me, if the spike was broken off the hole would be jagged.
