Battara, please excuse my late reply on your thread, but I have been busy finding additional pieces of information’s for an article, I have written on Bundi katars, to be published later this year.

Kukri’s are not my speciality, so I am glad Spiral has posted. When this said I must agree that you have a very nice one, but I would like to as you a question. The decoration on the hilt – is it chiselled and then guild?

You can see what I mean on the hilt attached. I have seen a number of these decorations, and most of them are said to be from Lahore – or that area, so if you want to further investigate it, this area would be a very good place to start.

Jens

I forgot all about the picture - sorry.
