Thanks for sharing these! Can you post full photos of the blades, as well as some measurements?

What is the provenance for these?

Are the handles silver or white metal?

:)

[Atlantia]

I love them!
Any chance of colour pictures?

[Mark]

Stunning! Thank you for sharing. Is there a special name for a blade with that kind of elaborate spine? They are beautiful.

[carlitobrigante]

Beautiful pieces. Very nice condition.

K.Bancha regarding a name, I'm curious as well if these have a more specific name. I know in English, I've heard them called a Scythe or Halberd . In Thai, I've heard them called a Ngow/Ngaw Sun...but that just means "short polearm":confused:

Thank you for sharing.

Is it known if both the blade and silverwork was done in CM? or else where :confused:

[PUFF]

Another name called "Dahb Sri".

[Battara]

What wonderful silver chasing work! Beautiful pieces! :)

[Zwielicht]

What a wonderful thing!
