Unusual dha-like sword

Thanks guys, very informative and interesting.

So it the case of the first sword shown(from Ebay) it's not as much about the odd hilt as it is the blade...is that correct??

Hello Charles,

I would say partly correct! It's the combination from the blade shape, the way the handle is attached to the blade, the engravings on the spine and also the guard.
