Dha Lwe

drdavid · 25th August 2007, 02:07 AM

Hi all
this is a pretty nice example of working dha (dha lwe). Appears to be Shan/Rattanakosin Lao/Thai mid 20thC. Generally good condition, missing some rattan sheath bands and some cracking in the sheath. Blade has light surface rust and is firmly fixed in hilt. Original copper at ends of hilt. The baldrick appears original and shows some wear and tear. Price $150 usd plus postage (about $30us to most parts of the world). PM me if interested.
cheers
