antique Laos lotus bud tip dha sword Thai Asian knife Burmese dagger old

Description

A good c1900 1930 date Laos or north Thai daab sword with lotus bud - hua bua tip shape.
Firstly, the blade of this dha by its look appears to have a well defined hamon water quench mark from the quenching process, it has signs of lamination also, it is razor sharp and although having been restored it has not been over cleaned, there are a couple if tiny minor niks but these are minimal and not deep, they could easily be polished out with a little time but are part of the history of this old sword, but they are so minor there really would be no reason to bother unless you are one of the more purist collectors.
The spine of the blade is thick and v ridged ( see pics) , it has the hua bua lotus bud tip shape which is not as common as the other more traditional leaf shape, some would likely call this spear point.
The hilt is of traditional form with brass - yellow alloy ferrule and pommel, it end with what what appears to be a coin or perhaps token of some sort on the end of the pommel, the grip section is Traditional rattan woven bands over wood.
The scabbard is of wood with the same rattan woven straps, it also has a new cotton carrying cord attached in red.
There are a few little holes and marks in the scabbard which were where someone had put some old panel pins in it for decoration, they have since been removed but can be sent with the sword if the buyer wishes.
A rare dha from a region where we see less of these swords coming onto the market, made for working and fighting and not for show, a good strong sturdy sword made for a real fighting man in its day.
size is in scabbard 31-3/4 inches, out of scabbard 29 inches, blade is 18-1/2 inches, hilt is 10-1/2 inches.
Spine thickness closest to the hilt is 1/4 ich thinning towards its tip ( see pic).
