Bhutan sword with chromed blade: advice needed

I do not know anything about Bhutan arms, but the fittings look very fine. With total lack of knowledge in the area I admit I was fooled into thinking they're old.
As for chrome-plated blade... I found chrome-plated shamshir blade once. Why was it chromed, no idea. It was looking totally shiny brand new, what gave is the cartouche:-) otherwise it'd be lost forever:-) see before and after pics.
