    Hello, I just bought this vintage sword. I wonder if any one could tell me the origin and age? IMG_6522.jpg IMG_6523.jpg IMG_6525.jpg IMG_6524.jpg

    I'd call it more a long knife or machete, than a sword. Worthpoint has a very similar one, that is described as being from the Philippines. It also has the SSSSS design on the blade: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-filipino-sword-philippines-3307632016

    (Worthpoint has not especially been known for its reliability as a reference, however.)

    From the photo, it doesn't look like the knife fits in the sheath, but it may just be the angle of the picture.

    Looks like a 'daab' to me, the Thai relative of the Burmese 'dha'.:)
