Roy,

Your example seems to have much more of a fighting blade compared to this one.

OK now I could get into this! It has all the elements that I like (although missing silver inlay) including the silver hilt and pamor blade.

Perdy!

Not so sure about that as mine is only about 3/16" thick at maximum. It is very flexible.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that this is an Indian blade. I have seen very thin, flexible blades with this type of fullering from India and the mechanical Damascus pattern that you see here is not uncommon from that region.
