Nice display.

I believe the shield and sword on the left in post #1 are 18/19th century Siamese or Burmese. The serrated edge on the scabbard is made I think of crocodile teeth and was also used as a weapon. I've seen a similar one in the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

Great thread. I wish someday to see some of these in person.
