Default A Dha

It is a Burmese Dha blade. Nice to see markings on it.

The marking looks more like a double dorje to me than a Christian cross, which would put it more firmly in "Dha Land".

I agree that this is a dha blade. The tip style is one of them Hua's.
In looking at it closely, I also tend to think it is a blade with respectable age.

I agree with others this one looks like a Dha blade...and the cross looks more like a double dorgie found in Tibetan Buddhism....I've never seen that makers mark before...very interesting.
