I picked this very simple piece up today for a very modest price. Best guesses on origin?

I have had this smaller one in nicer condition for a while.

Hi Marcus:
These are from northern Thailand, mostly second half of the 20th C. Quite a few found their way back here with GIs who had served in Vietnam. One of our Classic Threads has quite a lot of information about them: http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001291.html Ian. |
the pointy scabbard as opposed to a square cut tip usually points to thailand. just to be perverse, a square/rounded tip may not conversely point to burmah.

The handle on the smaller example is mounted upside-down. I wouldn't necessarily spend much time or effort correcting it on one of these, but if you intend to display or keep it as a late 20th century example of the type, you may want to... :shrug:
