Second dha silver handle
My second dha, blade was completely rusted so a guess what was underneath. From the seller's photo I thought the handle could be silver wire, which turned out to be so. Blade sanded up with sandpaper coarse to fine, still some damage from the rust, pitting. Super sharp, cut myself while sanding. For now I will leave it as it is. Handle the piece of silver wire that had dissolved with super glue repaired and polished and found a coin, I think at the beginning of the handle against the blade . The coin was completely covered with a thick black (oxide to glue was difficult to remove). The scabbard is a good condition, the finish seems original to me. The ratan? bands holding the scabbard together are intact. On the scabbard an old label with no 17 written on it. Very pleased with the whole thing. Origin Laos Thailand Burma? Age? Comments as always welcome.
regards Marc |

Really no one who can contribute anything regarding this dha. There are some differences from the previous ones I posted, though. Handle with silver wire, the coin , blade shape, status, origin etc.

Looks amazing. I love it when a gamble pays off. The coin is a good clue on origin and age, try to ID it. I've been able to ID coins, even those with very little remaining features, using this site https://en.numista.com/.

I expressed myself wrong, probably bad translation. I fixed the loose silver wire at the end of the handle with superglue. Thanks again for the many pictures of dha's in my previous post. Regards Marc |

Hi Marc,
Sorry for my late reply! Your dha/daab is a Siam/Thai daab. The inscription on the coin is Thai, there is also a date visible. Date on coin: ๑๒๔๔ (1244: Chula Sakarat) = 1882 (Gregorian calendar). The Chula Sakarat calendar was used in Siam during 1835-1887. It's a very nice sword, if you ever get bored by it, please let me know!  Best regards, Detlef |

Wonderful that you can tell that from the small piece of text on the coin. The dha was a guess given the rusted state but a good guess. Regards Marc |
