Many of the Indian issued military khukuries were readily marked "TEMPERED STEEL/MADE IN INDIA". You are looking for a mass manufactured khukuri with very simple and well defined lines. Aside from those, the individual trrops were permitted and often carried their personal khukuries from home. Check the Himalayan Imports FAQ for photos.
