Yes, I own the sword, of course, I know the rules of the forum.

I like the hot-stamp which indicates an old original blade... mounts look Korean or Burmese. Feel free to mock, but not too unkindly please, I am drinking.

The circular stamped mark on the blade along with the ricasso and beveled edge leans me towards India as a possibility for the blade but obviously one that has a modified tip. The circular guard, long handle and pommel are not very Indian but could be something that came together in Nepal, Assam or one of the neighboring countries.
