I will take some additional pictures and post them. May take a day or two,

Cambodia would have been my first choice as well, although the diffusion of styles in the region made me hedge a little. But you're right -- the cast bronze hilt would certainly lean more to Cambodia than Thailand or Laos.

Any thoughts on age and function?
