This is one that I think can be attributed to the Kachin, northern Burma. This short, three-part handle and the straight blade are generally typical of a Kachin sword-dha. The scabbard decoration is a Shan style, but there is a very intimate cultural connection between the Kachin and the Shan (at least in Burma), so that is not surprising.
