Interesting sword John. I have two theories. The first is that it is a Burmese cane sword, which were apparently an indigenous type of weapon (I'll check Egerton when I get a chance). The second is that it is a cane sword made for a British ex-pat or visitor in Burma. The kofgari is uniquely Burmese as far as I have seen. In either case, it looks like the blade may be European.

Only my opinion: It looks like one of thoose cinese repros floating over ebay...
