Hi Ken,

This is a Naga dao from Nagaland, bordering on Burma and part of the NE Territories of India that were loosely governed by the British Raj. There are other examples to be found on the forum if you use the search function. It is a very nice example, and if the ferrule is silver (more likely brass but hard to tell from the pictures) then it was owned by someone of importance as silver is rare on Naga weapons. A good clean may show a laminated pattern or even perhaps a hairpin pattern similar to Tibetan swords. You got lucky on this one!
