Hi Lew
any idea on postage for Dha to Australia. Also what ethnic group do you suspect it might belong to? thanks DrD |

Australia is going to be expensive to ship to probably around $50 and your laws make it hard to import swords into the country. The dha is Shan I think. Lew |

I have recently seen photos of Burmese martial arts practicioners who are holding these short-gripped, simple-handled dha. Two-handed forms, actually; very cool. Also this exact form is often found with the koftgari on the blade, which we have learned is an exclusively Burman decoration. That is what really drew the connection for me. I guess I've been holding back from the group. A Burman dha with koftgari (from Andrew's collection): Last edited by Mark Bowditch; 21st February 2006 at 07:51 PM. |
