Dha Dha Dha

That is a nice working dha. I would have said definitely Kachin a year ago, but in light of new information, it might be Thai. Recent intelligence from Dan says that the more curved ones are Thai, and the straighter ones the Burmese. The concave tip is apparently used by both groups. So we are sort of back to square one in terms of identifying origins. It certainly is in the Greaves-Winston "Kachin" category."

As for age, I won't venture a guess based on the photos. No more recent than WW2 era, though, I would say.
