Tibet or Bhutan

Very well put David. On the other hand, even though certain forms are popular within a wide area, there are always characteristics that help us place an item to a region or in some cases even to a settlement.

Thank you Kronckew. I think there was something to the effect of "Bhutan and parts of Tibet" on this grip style in the chapter on China in "Swords and Hilt Weapons".

Regards,
Teodor

One must also consider that these were also made in Yunnan China for export to these regions both very early in time and as late as the modern world we live in.
