Can you do a photo close up of the horn end grain on handle Tim? I think it might be rhinohorn from the fleck in the side picture.

I think Louie is right it doesnt realy look like the original scabbard. In my intial excitment I didnt notice that.

The term hanshee seems to be a past misuderstanding friom the Hansiya which is a sickle. Often such long handled pieces like these are callled Lambendh, which means long handle, but thats all just semantics realy.

It a lovley very old, crescent shaped fighting kukri. With An intresting Indian scabbard from another kukri..
