Hi,
Flea market find from today. Can you tell me how old it is? I don't know much about those weapons. Thank you very much for any answers. Peter |

I would say 1940 blade shape wrong for an 1800s piece.

thank you both for your answers. Is it possible that a newer blade was attached to an older handle? The handle doesn't look like 40s to me, though I don't know too much about kukris...
Any other infos still highly appreciated. Thanks, Peter |

I would think this Kukri most likely dates from 1935 - 1950 period. Rod

Hello Stekemest
![]() I am not familiar with this form of kukri, however, to me it appears to be a solid Nepalese working Kukri. Nice steel bolster and overall a good example of type I think. I like the Look of the grip on these. 1930s to 1960s perhaps Well done and thanks for sharing. Kind regards, Dan |

Thank you all for your help.
Can you tell me how much it is worth? Just that I know I didn't pay too much for it. I was hoping it was older. @Bill: Sorry, I don't understand a word. best regards Peter |
