Khukri Info?

[redradr]

I received this Khukri from a client recently. He is from UK and stated that a great uncle received this while serving in Nepal. That would date back to early 1900's. Any info? Thanks!

Welcome redradr !
As this is not an H.I. product, i'm moving it to the Cantina.
Handle would most likely be cast aluminum with hammered brass inlay.

Its a good well made old piece of Officer quality. Probably Indian made, usualy date to early 1920s but some might be a little earlier or later..

Handle is tooled sheet brass over wood that at one time was silver plated, this has know worn of on the high spots, hence the two tone appearence.

A nice kukri!
