Please Help: What is this Khukuri?

[Craig Gottlieb]

A customers sent this khukuri picture and asked me to tell her what it was and how much it was worth. Since I'm not a big historical khukuri expert, and since it's not a great photo - I thought I'd post it here to see what you all thought it might be. My guess, was that it was late 19th century Indian (due to the chakma and karda shape, and due to the similarity of the sheath to others I've seen).

Looks like a ...uh...Khukuri ...to me.
Tell her it's junk and I will graciously offer her $50 for it.
