Yunnan sword?

I’ve got recently a mysterious sword. It has a well forged, sharp and heavy blade with a wide fuller and an engraving, which reminds me of Dha. The fittings are made of wood and white metal and have a Chinese feeling to them. The closest sword I have seen belongs to Ian, although his example is older and better made:

Another similar example I have found on the Josh Stout’s Photobucket site. It is featured below.
I believe all of them originate from Yunnan or other border region from China. Is there any new information on the Yunnan swords?
