Default Aka Peoples of Assam Wetzfa Sword

Well, after about four years of drooling, I finally got it! First time I saw this sword, it was well out of my price range. Sometimes, patience pays off. I was off a little on the drawing, and dimensions I posted earlier. Blade is 29" long, 1 13/16" wide, and hewer cut. So, I guess that makes it a Wetzfa? With the Wetzpa blade, being as long as 48". 38 3/4" overall. I don't know how old this is, but my gut tell me, that it has great age. Beautiful patina throughout. The exposed areas of wood, were rattan wrapped at one time. I think the scabbard bindings are replacements. Please tell me your opinions/observations on this piece.
