			The marking looks more like a double dorje to me than a Christian cross, which would put it more firmly in "Dha Land".

			I agree that this is a dha blade.  The tip style is one of them Hua's.    
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  In looking at it closely, I also tend to think it is a blade with respectable age.  |
