strange sword

I agree with you.
The tip of the Indian blade was cut off, with an old, aged patina.
I ended up in the same area too, Nagaland, Assam, India. Late 19 C.
I quote "The Naga people of the Nagaland in Assam, North East India use several types of swords, including a long Dao sword with a single edge blade, similar to blades of Tibet and Bhutan the neighbouring countries. These swords usually comes with an open side scabbard, like in the Dao sword offered here. This sword is most probably coming from the Angani Naga people".
