I recently came in to possession of an old traditional looking Khukuri, and was wondering if anyone could be of any assistance in identifying whether it is authentic, and if there some advice on restoring the blade, which appears as some stage of it's life to have been plated. Also, a friend who as some knowledge of these blades histories, was speculative as to whether the carvings on the handle and the dots etchings on the blade pointed it towards having a long family history. I have some good digital photos i have taken of the blade and hilt, casing and two accessory blades, and would love it if anyone would have a look at them. I am not actually interested in what value the knive and accessories have, but more in the history of the blade.
