A Dah for the Dah crew

Gavin Nugent · 2nd July 2015, 01:43 PM

There seems to be a lot of posts with Dah of late and I am often asked to share more of mine...so here is one recently bought with the help of a fellow member.
It has some of the finest silver work I have seen in a long time, has a makers seal stamp to the base and very unusual inlay to the tip of the blade.

It's as nice in the hand as it looks.

Just a gorgeeeeeeeeeeez piece. The sword itself is lovely, but the scabbard mounts are spectacular!

Gavin:

Very nice dha/daab. This one is almost certainly coming from our old friends the Husa in Yunnan, perhaps with some Shan elite silversmithing, arising from that part of the Shan territory near the junction of Burma, Yunnan, and Thailand. We have discussed Husa dha/daab here before and the stamp at forte resembles other examples of their work. Brass inlaid dots are found occasionally on other Husa blades.

Top quality example of this type of dha/daab.

Another example of the same genre with extensive silver work.
