Himalayan Import???

[knifecoop]

Hi There,
Found this at a yard sell and was wondering about the markings etc...and the gent. told me he has owned it for 25-30 years..sorry about the pics...it is not as shiny and finished as some I have seen on the forums it also has a upside down pitch fork/chicken foot? not sure if that is the correct term for it but that is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it. It appears to be approx..3/16ths thick and the sheath is worn with 2 small rusted knives..anyways any info would be greatly appreciated. There is also a stamp on the opposite side Nnia.
Thanks
Kris

I have a Windlass/Atlanta Cutlery kukri from 1987 exactly like it.

the british broad arrow acceptance mark is used to stamp just about everything military in the UK since crecy & agincourt. clothing, accessories, weapons, rations, dogs, cats, etc. (it is also widely counterfeited.)

in the US military they say if it moves, salute it, if it doesn't move, paint it.
in the UK it's paint it and put a broad arrow on it.

this is a photo of a swallowtail arrow point for an english longbow arrow.

they used other styles, the bodkin point against armour was another.

this guy collected three bodkins

This is why I'm so glad you post here

Looks like an AC to me as well. It's tough to say as to what the quality is, but I have seen much much worse. For yardsale prices, you probably made out pretty good

I too had one of the AC types, but weren't those based on an earlier, already established model of khuk used in one of the World Wars? Knifecoop might have something a little more prestigious on his hands. Where's Spiral?
