Found some old Kukris at Sportsmans Guide. 1-800-888-3006

The "longleaf" is 19" X 2 1/2" X 3/8" & is $179.97

The "Bhojpure" is 17" X 2 1/2" X 3/8" & is $144.97

These were made prior to 1890 & do not come with sheaths. This is a one time offer. They are used , packed in cosmoline.
They are marked with Devangari script & have the date of manufacture on the blade.
Traditional native hardwood handles.
 
It looks like those and the guns are from the same batch or source that Atlanta Cutlery is selling.
My wife ordered a Bhojpur for me for Christmas from AC and paid extra for a "hand-picked" one. It has a broken tip, chips in the cutting edge, and a crack half way along the top of the wood handle. But...it's over a hundred years old, and I'll have it restored. No markings on mine.
Neat history, and a genuine combat-used weapon.

The prices are higher than they are from Atlanta, and Atlanta offers a "Don't like it? Return it" guarantee. (Sometimes it's hard to send them back once you hold them.) At Atlanta, the "Longleaf" is $159.00 and the "Bhojpure" is $129.00. Only SOME are marked with Devangeri script. Only SOME are dated.
