Kachin Dao.
The Kachin Dao, this item has generated a lot of interest so here are some more images and my price is $225 or nearest offer. As found and untouched, clean top side slight surface rust on scabbard side, clearly a forged blade, laminations not present in it's current state, a good clean and etch may reveal some of the forging marks. Some geometric patterns present on both side of the scabbard and beautiful fine rattan weaving present to the sling and scabbard bindings. Overall a nice and seldom seen piece.
Thanks for your interest and best of luck.
