Montagnard dha?
I’ve had/sold many typical Thai daab, I’m more interested in the Montagnard dha from Vietnam. (Interest in crossbows led to interest in Montagnard material culture in general). This sword was supposedly collected by actor Peter Leeds while on a USO tour. Thick blade with embellishments. Guard is an aluminum French Indochina coin marked 1945. Hilt is bamboo with recycled metal fittings.
