Manish,
In your original post you noted this blade was in Montmorency cross section. The British in late 18th c. were particularly in favor of this type blade as well of course as French. In post #7 Lofty asked for better views of the blade, to which I agree as it would be most helpful. The sword overall in as discussed in Indian context as you have described, so the blade would be in accord with British blades circulating for some time in these regions.
The scabbard seems Ottoman as described and might have been added later, not necessarily of the original mounting of the sword.

thank you
Jim

I found another place where this type of insignia is used , fire alarm boxes .

Probably because there was a telegraphic system in the fire alarm box ( hence the same idea of communications ), however , could this be a Fire brigade parade sword?
