What you have there is a genuine fake gurkha issue service #1 khukuri.
These are sold in markets and bazzaars all over the region and even exported and sold as such.
You can find them on various sites, most notably that auction site.
While some of them can be usable khukuri, most are not. Usually the handles on these break first. For the most part, heat treat is spotty at best on these. Some are not even heat treated, as these were meant as keepsakes/momentos and are not really meant to do the things a real working khukuri will do.
