p.s. Rod, can you give me a close-up of all of the text on the blade?

It actually looks like Bengali script... which is also used for writing Assamese.. could it be from Assam area rather than Nepal?

Beo, will send you more pics, this is interesting because it is Bronze and I am guessing very old.
