CAMBODIAN DHA for COMMENT

Yes I agree Mark. The Provenanced Cambodian Dha I have are certainly a strange lot compared with other more "conventional" dha. The one common thing common with most of them is that they have a "tsuba" of sorts, and the handles (where they are totally wood), have the turned top of one or more rings of decreasing size.
This particular one, as stated came originally from the same source as the others recently shown, but by way of a relist, as I missed out on it when it was first up for sale.
The guard looks to me as if it has always been there, and in my opinion is not a later addition.
Regards Stuart
