Thankyou both for your replies.

Detlef, would the scabbard bands originally have been metal (brass/silver) or rattan?

Hi Andrew,

No, I just re-checked, there are no marking of any description. The bottom of the chapel is timber (see image), perhaps it is missing a plate of silver?

Dha Hmyaung for discussion

I recently purchased this dagger, which I believe to be a Burmese Dha Hmyaung - hopefully someone can confirm the origin of this knife. It is a truly sturdy beast: overall length 31.5cm; blade 21 cm...

Powder Flask or something else

This ended on eBay recently, I only submitted a nominal bid and didn't win it. I am not entirely sure what it is. Has anyone seen something similar?
