Help with Kami Mark ID?

Yep Im officially unemployed as of yesterday. Cambodia eh? Sounds like a wonderful place. Id love to go to Laos and Thailand too! They live on some pretty good eats there from what ive heard! Good fishin too. Lets go!

I'm with you dog, I got hook ups in Cambodia, fun times.
 
I'm told that the chainpuri was originally posted by Yangdu a couple of years ago as a Tirtha blade. Barring error, that rules out some of the speculation. It is clear that the kami mark is very different from the usual Tirtha beer mug, and also very different from Young Sher's madrigal drum. The devangari also seems different from both, although those could be fancy versions of the same letters.

At this point I'm speculating that Tirtha made the chainpuri but one of the helpers engraved the kami mark and devangari so that it came out different from Tirtha's usual mark.
