South asian Chinese ? Keren? knife

[Peter Andeweg]

I would suggest Birma or Thailand. The shape of the blade and scabbard are quite common in those regions. The stag hilt is also seen on some ''village quality'' knifes from this region, but it's mostly ivory.
I would date it around the first quarter of the 19th century, looking at the quality of the blade and scabbard.

All the best,
Peter
