Hi Sid. Have you had a chance to check out the studs yet?
I also found another example, on the old Oriental Arms site, Oriental Arms example. This one has an old label on it, I have tried to boost the contrast but still can't decipher it but one word appears to be "Burmese".

And the word "Dacoits" reads quite clearly.

Ah then much of the rest falls into place "A Burmese xxxx xxx a dah used by dacoits which means highwaymen or brigands"

Uploading the images from the old Oriental Arms site, Oriental Arms example.

Jeff,

I think the inscription reads: "A Burmese weapon I had a dah used by Dacoits which means highwaymen or brigands"
