Vietnamese sword?

Stan is right. It is a tourist dha. Popped up in the seventies as wall hangers. Today still offered on auction sites. As a youngster i bought these dha's also to decorate my room from my saved pocket money

Not from Indonesia but made in Thailand

Thailand, IMHO. Tourist grade, of course, and modern.

Isn't Thailand a part of Indonesia?

I think I need to brush up on my geography

No it is a sovereign country in its own right, as is Burma, now known as Myanmar.

Nah, no need to go back to school. As long as I can identify a sword by it's proper name (which i did), call a fake when I see one (which i did), and point out roughly what part of the world it comes from (which i did), I have all education I'll ever need

No, seriously, I am quite ashamed of myself
