Lovely daab, Charles!

When I see the long handle swords like this I tend to think more of ethnic groups found in northern Burma, Northern Thailand, Southern Yunnan and Northern Laos.

I've seen some long swords which seemed more of parade or festival sword.

But there are long swords too which where part of central Thai and Lao military units. You can see those examples in the museums in Bangkok.

Thanks for sharing!
