Definately a beautiful sword. Definately over priced. I have never heard of Maung Po Thein, but then again I have seen so many names in various records it is not easy to remember. "Maung" implies that he was a regional governer, though, so he would have been someone of relatively high status. I'll keep an eye out for him.
