The use of fur on the bottom part of the scabbard could indicate à use among the Lhoba people. Hard to tell more. Insertion of brass/copper on pommel is common in Kham area. Conservative way of thinking late 19th early 20th. But could be earlier. Here is a picture of a Lhoba wearing fashion. Note the sword and scabbard
