I like it!

I don't think the size is unusually small. Many are surprisingly small.

I will look forward to other comments from those more knowledgeable than me.

Cheers

Definitely Burmese, and the style of the fittings looks Kachin - flared pommel, three-part grip with a bulge in the middle, sharp flare on the chape (drag). It could have been made for a kid, but my understanding is that men do not carry dha until puberty (it is part of what makes one "a man"), so its probably just small.
