			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.
