Hello Russel,
very nice dha dagger, I think Burmese but others will know maybe better. And I agree with Roland, it's elephant ivory. Congrats for adding such a nice piece to your collection. Regards, Detlef |

Burma
Hello Russel,
It is in my opinion from Burma as previously suggested but the region over all is vastly complicated. For me is it the fittings on the sheath that indicated this but honestly it could just as well be Laos/Indochina. Gavin |

Russel:
Gavin has pretty much said what I think. Most likely Burmese or northern Thai/Shan. The heavy, drop point blade is quite common on Burmese knives of this type. Very nice example and probably second half of the 19th C. Ian. |

I agree with Gav and Ian--overall form Burmese. Fittings more typical of northern Thai.
