My collection of "oddities" continues to grow. It appears that very few of my weapons fit into a definite category.

I am sure that this must be a European blade, but what ? I have never collected Western swords. Almost looks like a Chassepot bayonet that has been browned.
The sword is about 2 ft long. The scabbard is wood covered with thin, low grade, sheet silver.
Hilt is horn, probably buffalo ? Malaysian ? Indonesian ? Phillipines ? Must be from around there somewhere.
Vendor said it was some sort of Dha !!!!!!!!!!

I would be greatful for any suggestions
Thanks
