Newbie with my first Vietnamese sword

VANDOO · 23rd October 2016, 03:32 AM

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

MANY OF THESE WERE BROUGHT BACK DURING THE VIETNAM WAR SO THINKING IT IS A VIETNAMESE SWORD IS NATURAL. THERE WERE SOUVENIR SWORDS AS WELL AS REAL TRIBAL ONES BROUGHT BACK FROM ALL THE SURROUNDING COUNTRIES THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE WAR AND THOSE LIKE THAILAND WHERE LOTS OF TROOPS WENT FOR LEAVE. YOURS SEEMS TO BE A USABLE SWORD NOT JUST ONE MADE FOR A SOUVENIR SO IT SHOULD HAVE PROPER BALANCE AND A SHARP EDGE. .

I was reading so much on here that I really did think it was Vietnam, but it's Thai so I have loads to learn. I appreciate the knowledge you all have very much.
