Thanks for the help chaps, as I know little about Kukri and Indian things. The weight without the scabbard is 715g and that is on a good set of digital kitchen scales. The blade sides are just off flat but not hollow ground. Two interesting features are, the rivet through the bolster, and a nice touch the matching tang and wood grip profiles. I did say the seller was older than me so it is more than possible ww2 period. Judging by the sellers voice and demeanour. I would say his father was an officer secondly he was not a trader or regular seller, just a one off car boot sale to sell household junk the ones to pounce on .
