Newbie with my first Vietnamese sword

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

MANY OF THESE WERE BROUGHT BACK DURING THE VIETNAM WAR SO THINKING IT IS A VIETNAMESE SWORD IS NATURAL. THERE WERE SOUVENIR SWORDS AS WELL AS REAL TRIBAL ONES BROUGHT BACK FROM ALL THE SURROUNDING COUNTRIES THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE WAR AND THOSE LIKE THAILAND WHERE LOTS OF TROOPS WENT FOR LEAVE. YOURS SEEMS TO BE A USABLE SWORD NOT JUST ONE MADE FOR A SOUVENIR SO IT SHOULD HAVE PROPER BALANCE AND A SHARP EDGE. .
