Thank you very much for the reply! I was just asking to make sure i didn't miss anything as I didn't find anything via a forum/google search and a ton of reading. I only ask this as I recently bought an HI kuk from a forum member. He initially thought it was a Bonecutter, but when it arrived, I verified it was indeed marked by Sher the Tiger and does not have the UB initials on it anywhere. the seller offered to return my cash, but by that time the blade and I had bonded 
I will post some pix tomorrow to see if anyone can nail down the exact model it is. The seller measured it at 17.5 OAL but I don't have a weight for it.
Thank you again for taking time to reply

Sher may have made a couple, but the khukuri you have is most likely a Ganga Ram Special. It is easy for people to mix the two, as the styles somewhat blended for awhile.
For the most part, Sgt. Khadka made the Bonecutter almost exclusively, with Murali Kami was making a few for awhile.

if it is pre UB, it's most likely a GRS of some flavor.
older GRS models, esp the LARGE ones, look a lot like the bonecutter template, but there are some differences.
probably very nice work. yes. do post some pictures.

no bonecutters there... but that middle GRS sure does look close

At the top of this photo is a "GRS/Bonecutter" made by Sher. A regular "Bonecutter" is right below it.

ah, sher the tiger is not "old sher", my bad.
mmm. habaki bolsters, lots of cho creep. limited to no bell pommel. brass? bleah
not my design intent.still, pre-UB probably means old sher? probably GRS. can't wait for pictures.
