I asked Khun Bancha about drdavid's blade tang. His suggestion is tang's style 's not old Ayuthaya. Could be 80-150 yo northern Thailand (Lumpang Utaradit or near by cities). The round/spatulated tang tip 's related to some nothern Thailand samples.

Khun Dang 's blade 's difinitly Hua LukKai while Ian 's blade 's something between Hua LukKai and Hua PlaLod. I would like to put this one in Hua LukKai since its little beak might be used in the same way with that of Dahb Hua LukKai, which, I heard from MA, used for jabbing (into opponent 's wrist or arm) and disable one's combat ability.

Hi Puff
thanks for that. With my piece do you think it would have had a coin on the butt end (I have another which does and it looks like the same size hole to take a little nail in the centre of a coin)? Also is it likely to have had a spacer or metal collar near the hilt as the tang does not quite fit all the way into the hilt (I am pretty sure it is not just a blocked hole). Thanks again.

Well, after all that input on this thread, I have to revise and update some of my own published information on my site.
Expect the offer to be slighly different and wider in the upcoming months (concerning blade shapes I believe).
For those who are interessted in Darbs made in the present days that is, not elder collection pieces (yet).

Anyway, Puff, I believe we should meet and have a chat together, if you're interessted.

Regards to all of you,
Serge from coZun

P.S. Special greetings to Khun Dan the Red and Mark Bowditch. I''ll write you guys soon.
