Thanks, Jim. :)

On that note, I believe this topic has run its course. Ibrahiim, should you decide to pursue this elsewhere, we wish you the very best. :)

Thai, contemporary/second half of 20th century, most likely (based on the metal work which is probably not silver and, if it is, will be very low quality).

Here is a riding crop in my collection...

Post pics, please. The "finish", especially on older working blades, was not always finely polished on these.

Pattern welded. One or more types of steel sandwiched together and folded (welded) during the forging process.

Agree--first one is Thai. Photos aren't great, but I believe the sword is older than the scabbard, which looks like a later addition.

Second one is Northern Thai/Southern Yunnan, China. I have...

I have not seen any, Stan. Most commercially produced racks are of the type you show.

The best way to hang/display weapons as you describe (in my experience) is to use thin wire and either small...

Thumbs down Trolling? Not here.
