Default Montagnard Dha Sources

Greetings everyone,

I'm really interested in a Montagnard Dha and I know that Andrew has posted one of his own collection.

On the other hand it has been difficult to me to find one in Mark Bowditch Dha's Page Here

I was wondering if some of you gentlemen could post some and also lead me to sources where I could find one.

Many thanks

Antonio

Default Help is on the way

Antonio:

Funny you should bring this up because I made a presentation on Montagnard swords and knives at Timonium earlier this year and have been meaning to post the pictures here. I will put some up later this evening when time permits.

Ian.

Cool

Antonio, I'm not aware of any currently offered for sale, but I picked one up from eBay, and one from Susan Stem at Tribal Trappings.

Ian's presentation was excellent. In the interim, Antonio, here are are some examples:

From Oriental-Arms' sold page:

Here's the one I purchased from Tribal Trappings:

Hi Andrew,

Thank you
I was wondering if it would be possible for you, not rush of course, to post the one you picked up from Ebay.

I may sound sacrilegeous but I was so impressed with a that sword you have that I would appreciate some photos of the blade and the handle plus the specs. Thank you in advance.

Meanwhile my Aranyik Dha has been differentially heat treated and it is now under mounting process. Unfortunately my designer side prevails when it comes to mountings, also because the mounter is not native to rattan work.

Here is the blade. I'll be doing the final polishing and etching.

I have to agree with Andrew I really enjoyed Ian's presentation.
Your blade is really looking nice, As to the mountings there are a number of options other than rattan, One that I have always liked is owned by Mark and has metal mesh on the handle

Or another idea is one on an older feeling dha

Those are just a couple, there are many more options as well

I'm looking forward for reading Ian's presentation.
I presume the metal mesh is much more difficult to make...

Thanks. The Aranyik blade was purchased at Lung Som's.

Ian.
That would be absolutely great Ian.
I was also wondering if you would consider emailing me the presentation, unless it is a Power Point.

Thank you
