Burmese Dha Sword with Silver kofgari

Here is an interesting example of what I found out to be a Burmese Dha Iwe (Story Sword). The wooden handle is missing some parts. IMHO the ray skin cover and the silver pommel!?!, while the tiny brass nails are still there, as well as a silver part on the lower part of the handle. The blade has most of it's silver koftgari intact, which is beautiful, done masterfully and is done inside the wide fuller. Part of the spine of the sword near the handle is also covered in koftgari.

Any more information on this Dha is much appreciated.
