Hello Steve, I would say pre-WWI, the handle looks to be partial tang? with the pin put in to strengthen it. Its not issue, my guess is that it was made for an Officer either British or Nepali. Anyway its a very nice peice to have

I would say the pin was probably done by one of the regimental armourers.
