Hello everyone, new here and would appreciate any info knowledgeable members might have. I was unable to check this out in person and only have two crappy pics. It is described as a short sword with a 16-1/2" blade, wrapped handle, and wood scabbard. Does anyone recognize the markings on the blade? Possible origin?

Thank you kindly...BEWW

It's a dha from southeast Asia, likely Burma or Thailand. No expert on them, I just like the shape. Someone who knows more will be able to give more conclusive data.
 
Agreed it is a dha, it looks like one of the anarik versions that are / were all over ebay.
 
I have a pair of swords that look like that one and have the same markings. There are a lot of them out there, it’s a cheap souvenir sword.
