That is something you do not see often. The rectangular pommel is very distinctive. I find the complexity of the scabbard design interesting too. There is another example like this one in the old Oriental Arms site. Edit: Guessing other folks would be interested I went ahead and uploaded the Oriental Arms photo here, as well as one more from Mandarin Mansion of a Bhutanese sword with the Mishni style scabbard.
