Burma Naval Dha??

M ELEY · 19th October 2010, 03:23 AM

I know that British naval swords occasionally had anchor markings, but actually the closest pattern of anchor that this dha resembles is the m1801 French boarding cutlass, with its snug curved end and unfowled anchor. The m1833 pattern blade likewise used the anchor symbol in the exact location on the sword as this one. Interesting to note that even the blades of this dha and the French pattern look very alike...
