Thai daab/katana fusion

I have had this piece for a while now,and it came to me as being of Khmer or Cochin origin. Having seen the pics posted here, it at least looks as if the shape could be influenced by Japanese swords/blades. Condition is not wonderful but is certainly original.
The bamboo piece on the scabbard was there when I originally got this sword and I would be interested to know if anyone can shed any light on its meaning.
Regards Stuart
