Kukri from Birmingham (UK) antique arms fair.

[David R]

The piece I am possibly the most pleased with from Brum. It's been a while since I last bought a Kukri, and this is a cracker, well forged and finished and in good condition, with just a little surface rust and some degradation of the leather. The grip is brown-green horn (with a small crack) rather than black, and with a steel butt-cap held by two screws as well as a tang peen. My guess is tween the World Wars and private purchase by an officer. I just gave it a little scrub with oil and wire wool for now to keep it safe and a little dressing on the leather.... Found in the cheap box mixed in with the all-sorts!
