Slender blade Kukri translation help please

G'day

This Kukri could be desribed as a sirupati, in that its blade resembles the slender siru grass of Nepal.
I think the writing on spine may be 6 and 3. Any correction/help welcome.
The "eyelash" mark looks like that found on tulwars, could a dating be arrived at via this mark?
The steel is finely laminated I think. Quality silverwork too, I think.
I'd guess at around 1850

possibly earlier. Thought and discussion welcome please.

Best regards,

Daniel
