Hi,
Just got another MKII kukhri from the UK;

Co I /|\ G
T [or I] II

Grips seem fancier in pics, with possibly 2 metal trim rings around the ridge in the middle of the grip.
Any ID help? Maker, Gurkha Reg?
Thankyou, Andy Gordon
 
Without a picture I cannot give you a definite answer, but if there are the two metal or brass bands around the grip you are describing a copy using WW I marks. Those are the exact ID marks used for this replica.

An authentic model would have no chakma or karda, the scabbard would be easily identifiable and the grip would be wood scales with no embellishment.
