Kronckew,

Thank you for the link to the thread where you presented some excellent observations, illustrations and analysis of the markings on the blade. It is
always encouraging to see some dialogue with this kind of text rather than laconic comments often seen that are entertaining but offer little in discussion. I always look forward to learning more on these weapons from those who are acquiring, observing and handling the actual examples, and offer the observations developed from thier research.

I am wondering if there is any particular significance with the circular sunburst type stamps. It seems these same symbols are seen elsewhere including SE Asia on dhas, and I'm surprised the dha guys haven't said anything

Thanks again Kronckew for sharing your observations,
Best regards,
Jim
