And here, for our archives the recently sold but wrong described example. It was described as Vietnamese, possibly Sedang tribe.
In fact, to my knowledge, they come from the Attapeu province of Laos.

112 cm total
blade: 73 cm

I have a soft spot for the long ones. I'll have to do a group picture with some other big ones as the size really is unusual, not just the length but also the spine.

For those curious to see it next to some other very large swords. Typical sized daab included for scale. Second image shows swords with the same hilting style.
