Hi Detlef,
Sorry i ment leather covered scabbard not hilt, hilt is indeed brass...my mistake
Ian,
thanks for the info, got the sword form a thai website that listed it as Northern Thai style but with the Golden Triangle area you mentioned i see the mixup of the dicription. Lovely area by the way
Again thank all for the help and info!
Small change i might be able to buy a Thai daab soon, if so i will post the pictures here off course...let the hunt and fun begin
Regards!
