Chris the pictures show just sections of a blade and some scabbard, a pic or two of the whole sword will help out.

Actually, you posted it in Off-Topic Talk and I moved it to Historical Arms Talk, where it belongs.
In the future if you have any questions or feel your thread needs to be moved, please message a Moderator directly.
Thank you.

Please post pictures of the entire sword. Based on just these it looks like it might be a dha, but I would hesitate to say so without more photos.

I agree that a picture of the entire sword would help a lot.
At first I thought it might be some kind of dao, but yes, more likely a dha.
EDIT: Just found this picture:

So, yeah, based on the etchings, looks like it's a Burmese dha.

Strange, works fine for me. 
But, yeah, yours is shorter then the one I found, but what you have there is definitely a Burmese presentation dha.
