Bhutan Sword ?

Ebay Ian , the blade has a full tang , slight curve , and is weighty and sharp . The hilt and scabbard must have a million tiny tacks holding the decorations on .
Someone put a lot of time into making this sword .

I have just hit the blade with 0000 wool and given it a light etch .
Doesn't seem to be any activity that I can see .

After reading the article I found the faces on the sides of the hilt .
Really unique application work that is 98% still there .
Definitely Baiwan .

I do feel like an idiot for not checking our own resource site .

I'm going to need a bigger wall ......
