Hi Lew,
This is obviously Spirals domain but in my limited experience a good pointer to overall quality is how well the chakma and karda are executed. In this case they look very well made and nicely finished. I know the steel bolster is sometimes a pointer to an earlier piece and I would think you're not far wrong in your assessment of age. A good looking Kukri.
My Regards,
Norman.
