I'm not sure the "G" on this other sword has much connection to yours as it appears to be stand alone. Same with the coin. Though we might have difficulty reading it, your sword definitely has other letters marked there.
As Kai has already insinuated, you can pretty much dismiss anything the Forged in Fire guys have to say about S.E.A. weapons. They don't know jack about this stuff. For that matter, its a very bad show for blacksmithing technique as well. LOL!
I don't think anyone who has participated in this thread so far is holding back on you, but if i am not mistaken, there are members on this forum who have yet to comment who know quite a bit more about Dayak weapons.
