Glad to be of help Rumpel! Its fascinating to see these kinds of examples an sort of 'do the math' investigatively to see if a reasonable possibility can be reached.

Wayne, great example, and most interesting to see the 'dha' gestalt!

Reviving this in light of the fascinating Sri Lanka thread, should we interpret this type of blade as a South Indian/Sri Lankan form?
