Kukri Indian or Nepalese?

Nice one Tim, The style is of a ww2 mk.2 British Gurkha issue kukri, Made in India, probably the Calcutta area, But is most likley Private purchase given lack of inspection marks on either blade, handle or scabbard. I would think 1941 to 1945 most likley as a manufacture date., 1947 at very latest.{IMHO.]

These feel very western & solid in the hand usualy.

What weight is it?

By the way due to a recent Hacking the IKRHS websites new address is

IKRHS linky.
