Hi Bob:

Yes, a Burmese dha probably from the late 19th C. The two plain, metal ferrules flanking a rayskin grip are typical mountings on many Burmese swords of the late 19th–early 20th C. The blade has a nice shape with a prominent, tapered point. Given the wide fuller on the blade, this is most likely of Bama manufacture (rather than Shan, etc.).

Nice example.

Ian.
