Would someone on this forum taker a look at my post in General Knife Discussion regarding a knife brought home from Afghanistan by a US veteran.
The post is titled Afghanistan Knife.
He would like to know what his best path is to find out if it is collectors piece or just a souvenir.
I'm not sure if anyone in this forum has read the post, but there are some interesting comments.

Thanks in advance
 
Interesting.

Nice way to find a kukri.

The nut is a industrialy made commercial nut such usualy used on a bolt. So at the very least thats been replaced. What diameter is the threaded tang?

If you undo the nut, pics of tang would help.

If good flat unangled , photos can be taken of the whole kukri & handle & closeups including markings & bolster from all 4 sides, That would also help. No artificial lighting neccasary. {It hides to many details.}

Then we can see if the rest of it matches the known manufacturing techniques, for these pieces.

Weights & measures would be also good.
