Silver Dha from the Dha Research Index (C0052)
And for comparison with the last example I posted, here are the pictures of my silver covered dha that appear on the Dha Research Index. Note the similarities in silver work on the scabbards, and again the UUUUUUU shapes in silver wire work that seems so typical of Shan work. The hilt on this one is what I have called Shan/Lanna, except for the wire mesh hilt which is indicative of Burmese influence.
Again the fit of the sword in the scabbard is perfect and another fine example of Shan work.
