Hello rvr,

this dha is not a Thai daab but a Burmese dha, age ca. 1930-1945 with a very unusual scabbard. The leather cover is not used normally by the Burmese. My wild guess would be that a Japanese soldier have had this dha and have given it this scabbard. Let's see what others think about it.

Regards,
Detlef
