THEY ARE LIKELY PROCESSIONAL SWORDS TO BE CARRIED IN ADVANCE OF ANY ROYALTY IN PROCESSIONS AND SUCH. THEY ARE ALSO SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS BEARING SWORDS. THEY ARE USUALLY VERY LARGE AND HEAVY WITH POOR BALANCE AND NOT MUCH OF AN EDGE ON THE BLADES.
I AGREE THESE ARE LIKELY FROM THE THAI/BURMA AREA.
