Herer is another similar tourist burma blade.

On the first side, the engraving is smith 's name. In my case is "Cho". And it is ""PAN" in your case.

I don't have any idea for the engraving on the other side. But it is "Good steel guarantee"

The engraving is quite poor though

I may ask my Burmese friend later.

Thank you, but I cant view the pictures because I am not registerd at Thai Blades. Now I could be sure it is not an old one , but I ve got a nice souvenir from my wedding journey.

Puff,

I am really very excited to have you (and Titus

) on the forum. A few of us here are collectors of continental SEA weapons, and your presence will, no doubt, be a great asset!

Is there any chance I could send you photos of some Burmese inscriptions to see if your friend could translate them?

Best regards,
Andrew

Just for your information, SibSongPannNa (TaiYai), Lanna, Burmese letters looks very similar.

You can send me some pictures. Just mail to s_issara at yahoo dot com (sorry to write this way, I just don't like those webbot

)

I can ask people in Thaiblades (some people can read Lanna) and also my Burmese teacher (I just start studying Burmese

)
