Iron Hilt Dha

This dha is not in great condition, but it has been stabilised, leaving a blackened blade and (iron?) hilt. I think someone has polished the brass studs rather than them being a later addition. No pommel cap. Incised bands of decoration on the hilt. Sadly no scabbard. No idea of the age.

Achang maybe, or Kachin?

Dimensions

Length 66cm
Blade length 48.5cm
Blade width 2.8 > 3.1cm
Spine 0.7cm
Hilt length 17.5cm
PoB 10.6cm
