I agree the Mongolian attribution is spurious. Perhaps because the drokpa are also nomads the previous owner thought they were ethnic Mongols.
As to if this thing is real or a Chinese made tourist piece I think it could go either way. On the one hand there's no visible wear and tear on the scabbard and you can still see glue from where the price sticker is attached. On the other hand it looks sturdy enough and it appears to be hand made. Plus, I'd be more suspicious if the seller sold it as a Tibetan or Chinese knife. The drokpa attribution is so specific and obscure that I assume there must be some truth behind the claim.
If it is a fake then I'm impressed with the attention to detail. I once bought a knife that was Native American according to the packaging. The knife itself was a Tibetan dossum with Mongolian writing on the scabbard. It was, of course, made in china.
