Nice kukri! The wooden scabbards like this usualy occor on village made native use pieces in Nepal & India border regions, although sometimes gifted to or bought by westerners. The more decoration the greater the wealth or caste position likely in Hindu soceity, seems likely.
The kukri looks somewhere between 1930 & 1950 to my eyes probably nearer 30s though. Spiral |
