ANYONE RECOGNISE THIS BLADE
My collection of "oddities" continues to grow. It appears that very few of my weapons fit into a definite category.
I am sure that this must be a European blade, but what ? I have never collected Western swords. Almost looks like a Chassepot bayonet that has been browned. The sword is about 2 ft long. The scabbard is wood covered with thin, low grade, sheet silver. Hilt is horn, probably buffalo ? Malaysian ? Indonesian ? Phillipines ? Must be from around there somewhere. Vendor said it was some sort of Dha !!!!!!!!!! I would be greatful for any suggestions Thanks Royston |
