Hi Colton,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
These are Dhas (Dha for singular), which are curved, single-edged blades from East Asia, primarily Thailand. They come in a variety of lengths and have a large handle designed for two-handed use but lack a protective handguard. Many variations of this blade type exist across regions from Vietnam to Bhutan, dating back to the 12th century during which curved blades gained popularity. The swords served various purposes. They were agricultural tools, ceremonial pieces, and dependable weapons on the battlefield. Some East Asian militaries still train with them today.

The handles and scabbards of these are probably teakwood. Based on the photos, these look to be 20th Century in age, based on the crispness of the carving on both the handles and scabbards, and lack of age to the rope bindings.

Individual dha of this vintage usually sell for between $150 and $250 at auction but it's nice to have a matched set in two sizes, so these would be worth $400-600 if sold together.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Two Thai teakwood and steel or iron Dha
20th Century
60cm and 90cm overall lengths (23-5/8 inches and 35-1/2 inches long)
CONDITION: With some tarnishing to the blades; handles and scabbards appear to be in good condition.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$400-600 for the two together*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
