Cool, the hairpin laminations are similar to those found in nearby tibetan/bhutanese knives/swords. probably an older blade. the brass may be the remains of a prised off openwork decoration rather than a repair. looks a bit odd for a repair. Stub tangs held in with laha (neplali glue) are typical and very sturdy. early 20c a good bet based on the overall shape...
