Hi Marc,

That one looks in pretty rough rough shape but it might clean up well. It needs a good clean to assess the hilt more clearly and the blade too. I think I see some areas of delamination of the blade—is that the case? I agree that it is a daab, probably Lao, 19th C.

Iain will give you a more definitive answer.
