I think you might be right, Vincent. The one denniso has there looks around 19th century (of course with the usual caveat that it's not a knock-off). Classic Tibetan guard, iron blade, inset coral trade-beads. Christie's Auction House sold one not long ago for about a thousand dollars. It was valued at about half that, but was very popular in the bidding. www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_ ... ID=5356441
