Burma? IT does look like silver mounts. I'm curious about these - would like others to comment.

Hello Eric, Although I have no idea of their place of origin I would love to see what they look like when fitted into their scabbards.

I would say Thai, based on the repousse work. Last half of the 20th c.

Nice little knives.

Missed this one.....comparing other examples I think this one might be more likely....Lao. I would agree though, 20th century. Thanks for sharing, Eric

I agree...that would be interesting to see how they fit in the little scabbard.

I think Nathaniel 's very close.
From the way they draw Naga, the pieces could be NE-Thai or Lao.
The bone hilt, blade and simple decor suggested 20th cent work.
