Help ID modern Dha(?) with carved ivory handle

[Ian]

Hi Bernard:

Welcome to the Forum. As a matter of forum policy we do not provide financial appraisals on line but many of our members do talk about this via PM or email. I will send you a PM shortly with what I think this knife may be worth today.

It is a typical Burmese knife or small dha. The hilt is characteristically Burmese in its ferrule and the ivory (?) carving. I always query "ivory" on recently made pieces, as this one appears to be, because there is so much immitation ivory around.

That said, it is a nicely made knife in the traditional style. Is there a sheath?

Will be in touch later today.

Regards,

Ian Greaves.
