Chinese? Type name?
Attached are photos of a sword that I'm trying to identify. I thought Tibetan but in Stone's, p.594 #20, is a similar style called Chinese. Most odd is the guard being cupped-shaped. Can anyone shine some light on this for me? My area is in Japanese swords, but these kind of things are also fascinating. Looks like a real sword, not a tourist item.
