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. |
