Two Interesting Dha

Here are two dha swords for comment. I am especially interested in opinions regarding origins of the top, more narrow one.

I believe that one shows some indication of Kachin characteristics(hilt), but the blade is vexing. It is of outstanding quality with an inserted hardened edge. On of the most impressive blades I have seen, quality wise...a petite, but deadly piece.

The second one is Kachin I believe. It features a gorgeous hilt, with especially nice rattan, fitted to a very basic blade.

Both scabbards are new, custom made for these swords.
