Thai Kings and thier swords

Those two could almost be the same sword, entirely possible since various swords are part of the Thai Royal Regalia. I have a picture of some of them. I'll see if I can find the book, and if there is a krabi among them.

You also get very similar krabi from Laos, but the one I've seen had an elephant head pommel instead of a naga.

Mark and Andrew I hope you both have better luck finding a picture of a military krabi than I have. I have found a seal and a flag with siloettes of them though, Would krabis have been used in 1800
