Hi Moose,

I've not seen the end of the movie yet (

), but I have seen some very large dha. One in my collection measures 58", and could easily be late Ayutthaya/early Ratanakosin period.

Possibly it may look similar to this piece Artzi sold recently ?

This sword being seemingly socketed in construction could be configured as a short pole arm , no ?
