New acquisitions 2

This is a Khukri I picked up for not much, I am not sure but suspect it is probably 1960's or later. Still some stains to deal with on the blade. The leather is in good condition, blade length about 30cm (11.8 inches) and weighs about 500grams (16 ozs). Has a lions head in brass on the butt of the hilt, so could be junk but blade does not appear chrome plated. Will post some of my other new stuff in the next couple of days. This is a very addictive hobby....what are the 12 steps (or is it 10 steps) to getting over this one.
