Dha/daab
Another dha/daab I couldn't resist.
Oal 70.5 cm, sword 66.5 cm, blade 44cm very sharp, thickness against the handle 7.8 mm and handle 22.5 cm. The handle is quite short compared to the other dha's I have. Between the blade and hilt, a copper disc, secured with two nails in the hilt. The two metal pieces look brass to me, the central part is wood into which shallow grooves have been burned, it seems. Sheath in fair condition. The rattan straps look complete to me. Wear to the rope and broken. Origin probably Burma/Thailand? Regards Marc |

Hi Marc,
A nice dha from the North-Eastern Thai/Laos region I guess after consulting a friend who is much better as I am in this collecting area. Regards, Detlef |

Thanks for the clarification in provenance, the handle made me suspect it could be from a different region da dha's I have. Regards Marc |
