Hi Jim,
Yes I think we got it, it must be Nepalese. Interesting that this blade type was used over a very large area.

Hi Katana,
You wrote about the balance, but these blades were not very thick, so the balance can have been all right, besides, if it was a ceremonial sword, I don’t think it would have mattered a lot.
