Tibetan (?) Dagger for ID

Many thanks to those who have contributed. I am astonished at how much you guys know and embarrassed at how little I know. The pommel of mine shows some wear, revealing a thin coating of brass colouring, with traces of a lighter metal below.
The pics that you guys have submitted make me envious. My 70th birthday is rapidly approaching and I think that this site has a tradition that when a member turns 70, other members send presents ? As of Tibetan daggers?

You got that backwards when one reaches 70 he is suppose to start disbanding his collection amongst the many younger members of the forum.
