Default Tibetan sword

Dear all,
here is a sword i had the chance of acquire this year. I wanted to share it to you all.
Here is a nice tibetan sword, probably from 19th, maybe earlier... Always tricky to date thoses... Iron fitting are carved and were gold gilded. Some traces remains. All stones here, tassel here.
Blade is straight and sharp, in a nice polish state and with hairpin pattern.
To my eyes, a jewel ! Come from a well know collection.
If you have any other informations on that type of sword, i would be happy to hear them !
Have a good day,
Julien
