I'm afraid there is not much of a story.
The blade is a chainpure ang khola and the horn hilt and horn scabbard with inlays indicate a Dhankute origin.
It is not old. Made within the last 20 years, i think.
However, it is not the typical tourist quality. Very well executed blade and balanced for speed. My guess is that
it was intended as a representative/decorative piece for the nepalese middle class.
