China/Tibetan sword. Help?

Hmm, not sure about that. It would have be extremely clever to include the marks left by a little finger ring.

The coral turns out to be a moulded piece of glass. I wonder how many of the lower quality Tibetan weapons have glass pieces.

When I found that the coral was glass I thought right this is a recent hash up for sure , but having found that "coral" glass is no way a modern thing I am a lot more happy with this knife.
