My humble offering, silver and bronze grip inscribed in burmese with a Phoenix bird. shortish grip & ornate pommel. Last time i posted it, no one could translate. Any additional info would be appreciated.

Not so humble IMO. Very nice dha with an unusual hilt. I cannot translate the Burmese script unfortunately. Ian. |

Thanks.
 , I suspect the bird may have been added later. I do not think it was a 'royal' sword, maybe just one given to someone & decorated later.So it is the royal Peacock (not a phoenix ) I suspected it might be a peacock.Any more accurate translation on the inscription on the silver bit?
