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 |
