nice dui chirra (two fullers) khukuri, nepali 'armoury' crescent marking above the cho/kaudi is normally a generic military mark. mine with same mark is early 20th c. (see attached)

somebody with a bit of money & status owned yours & it's in good shape after cleaning. good find

i just noticed the karda (small utility knife) appears to match the main blade, tho the chakmak (sharpening steel) appears a later replacement...
