I wouldn’t rule out India as the source of the blade. The semi circle “eyelash” as well as the other two symbols can be found on Indian blades of similar overall design and profile. Looks like you have a recessed spine, a sort of fuller on the spine, which is another feature found on Indian blades and a few other cultures. (China, E Europe). Given those features I doubt it is an European blade.
My $0.02. 🤓 |

I do not know wether these "eyelashs" hve been in use in India. What I know is that this feature is often to be found on the blades of Hungarian husar sabres.

You may have an Ottoman Hungarian sword
