Carlos please correct me if I get any of this wrong

Total length : 865mm.
Length leaf: 530mm.
Material: Steel, wood, silver, cotton.
Nº inventory: 25.071.
Handle carried out in ( made of ) turned wood and provided ( has ) an important knob that resembles a turban. All the assembly is found covered with silver sheet and elegantly worked. The fist ( handle) is found divided into two sections, one of the which is at the same time covered by a hairnet of braided wire.
This type of saber lacks guard, and possesses a curved steel blade. It has round back to the interior and edge run to the outside ( ?? Perhaps this means the sharpened edge is the outside of the curve )
The sheath is wood, lined with silver sheet with different decorations, and possesses a cord of green cotton for transporting it at the belt.

The Dhar is the characteristic weapon of Burma.
