A rare Burmese dha

I haven't shared additions to my collection in some time but this one is interesting enough to be worth a post.

While quite a simple sword this one is notable for the rare tip form and also that the scabbard is complete including the original lacquer. The handle is bamboo and retains the 'ribs' of the original material paired with simple iron mounts. A true fighting dha.

The last image shows it next to a pair of northern Thai daab.
