Vietnamese guoms

Thanks! Yes, I was wondering about that Siamese attribution myself. Aside from the guard with these unusual plates, the saber as a whole and particularly it's scabbard scream Vietnamese guom to me, but as noted I have little knowledge about swords from this part of the world outside of what I've read on vikingsword and on Mandarin mansion. But I included it since it's the only other example I've found so far with this style of guard.
