Not seen the like of this before.
Chinese pole-arm blade on a Thai hilt ???
It appears correct. When I first saw it I thought there was a bit of spot welding where the blade joins the hilt but on closer inspection it is a bit of turned over silver.
Sorry about the photos, not much light left when I got it home.
A large, two-handed, heavy item.
Blade is 26 inches long
Overall length is 38 inches
1/4 inch thick at the hilt.
Massive ivory hilt with silver dress. The hilt is just over 2 inches in diameter.
All comments welcome.
Regards
Roy
