Interesting piece Stuart, I have not seen many with the Mon script. I do not know much on the Mon people. So here is what I looked up:

not as yet had a translation of the markings on this dha's grip, i've assumed it's some sort of dedication or presentation inscription.
 the blade itself is unmarked. the phoenix on the grip also has an inscription over it.  overall dha for context

Mark....I thought it might be funny/ interesting for you to know that when I showed an thai friend, the 4th picture you posted....she said the thai script on the blade looked like the thai word "Hell"!!!!!
