South Ossetia?
I just saw the "pics" from e-bay... Indeed, horror....
But, still, I did not mean Dom's knives...
I'll have to make my own pics and post them. They look much older than Dalai Lama's silverware.
And, as the origin goes, I was thinking exactly along the lines of Ausjulius in the earlier thread.

Ariel, here is another thread where we discussed this Bao An vs. Tibetan ID. I feel fairly confident that my example, and probably yours as well, are not Bao An and are probably Tibetan, but again, this is not my area of knowledge.
