Unusual Dha
Hi all, it is my guess that this piece was made for a British officer during occupation of Burma 1858-1937. It has beautiful silver work, ivory handle with a stable crack through and a clip piont bowie blade that is true to the piece. I have also included an imgae of the Burmese blade smiths making knives from the chains used to restrain elephants as this was all that was available to them at the time and of great quality. I now have this piece framed with a Royal Dragoons badge of the same period. Any input or thoughts?
thanks Gavin |
