Default Silver daab

Members might find this recent addition to my collection interesting. A rather unique example with silver fittings.

Very nice Iain! Any guesses from where it is coming exactly?

I would suggest Thailand, from what I have learned in research today.

Hi Iain,

Interesting sword and scabbard. The hilt with a snake (?) or maybe dragon (?) pommel, and the style of silver work suggests a Chinese influence to me. Perhaps Southern Yunnan, northern Thai/Lao/Vietnamese. The drag on the end of the scabbard might suggest Chinese or French Colonial influence as well, sp I would say northern Laos or northern Vietnam. Late 19th C.
