Smile Dha 1 & 2

Hi Nathaniel, IMHO the first two are modern, possibly tourist type items in the Kachin style. #3 however is something entirely different. Shame the handle is broken but a VERY nice piece anyway.
Mark would be the one to comment more fully on all three.
Regards Stuart

Stuart,

Thanks for your comments This sword above, the metal fittings of the handle is pretty thin...the metal bands on scabbard are crudely cut compared to the other piece....and the wood surface of the scabbard is rough and the filgree pattern near the hilt of the blade is crude in comparison to the other piece I picked up from rsword http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6350

I will say though with this one the blade is nice though

Nathaniel
