Dha from Brunei

VVV · 20th April 2005, 11:02 AM

Yesterday Hermann's Historica had their Spring auction.
In their catalogue (48) was an ivory hilted dha from Brunei (lot 2822),
see http://www.hermann-historica.com/

Does any of the forumites know more about this kind of Borneo swords?
Has it anything to do with Burmese dha or is it just a coincidence that they look similar?
I have heard about, but not seen it myself, that there is another one in a Dutch collection?
