Antique buthanese dagger?

[Sajen]

Hello Carlos,

I am not a specialist but this is a great antique dagger, for sure 19th century, congrats! Are the mounts from silver or iron?

Regards,

How does one separate Bhutan from Tibet as an originating site in this case, and in general?

Tibetian daggers looks different. For Bhutan daggers look for example here:

These daggers are called "dossum".
