Some kind of dha?

Ok, it's arrived!!! The first three pictures show as the dha is arrived, not so bad conditions, apart for the scabbard that is completely open. I have cleaned the blade and lightly etched (my first time!!!) with vinegar, quite hot water and a drop of shampo. The blade shows a very nice lamination

The cap on the bottom of the handle is copper, maybe a later restoration. Now i'm trying to restor the scabbard: i'm glue the two pieces together and than i will try to redone the rattan wire (at least someone of the many that in the past held togeteher the scabbard). I'll post some pictures when the work is ended. Comments are welcome. Thank you
