"new" Dha

rvr, nice dha (Burmese word for sword). Even thought not northern Thai it is a nice sword. Burmese swords tend to have shorter handles, and more likely to have a wide central fuller in later pieces. Good blade, solid piece though...functional, not just a tourist wall hanger

Thanks all,

Burmese not Thai with possible Japanese (personalized)
scabbard. The Japanese military sword do indeed
have leather scabbards besides the normal ones. Good observation!
Havent seen the dha myself yet and wont untill
next month when in Thailand. Will make better pictures than.
Lot to learn for me 😀

Thanks again, regards!
