Looks like a Siru. Any pictures of any markings on the other side of the blade would help.
 
Like Jake says, looks like a sirupati Khukuri blade. Any pics with markings would help to identify it.
 
Welcome Jimmyjuice! Yep! Definitely Siru. Looks like HI but no markings is weird. Maybe an early Sgt. Kadkha? He worked contract for HI and didnt mark his blades and since it dont have "UB" or shop name then thats my wild guess? It does have a nice scalloped butt plate.
 
Kadkha made a great blade for sure. Hard to say if it's his. He usually didn't cut the cho with so much creep through...usually.
 
If it's an HI blade, it's an old one. The bolster is the older style, before they moved to the Habaki style bolster.
 
AFIK, all HI blades from that period used scrolled rather than plain buttcaps.
