Thank you Henk.

I have read all the archive threads on the Dohong. I would like to open this can of worms again. Lets not fight about it, as far as I have read nobody has any really conclusive information except for VANDOO even if his pictures are of Naga spears. I do not really care either way if it is or is not. However I always like to discuss items when there is a general belief that there is only one shape and especially if that shape is in a book and becomes a biblical law for collectors .
All I know is that I have bought an old dagger. I can see no reason it is not 19th century. So what stops it from being a Dohong it certainly has that form?
