Tibet or Bhutan

[TVV]

Very well put David. On the other hand, even though certain forms are popular within a wide area, there are always characteristics that help us place an item to a region or in some cases even to a settlement.

Thank you Kronckew. I think there was something to the effect of "Bhutan and parts of Tibet" on this grip style in the chapter on China in "Swords and Hilt Weapons".
