Nice find Gene! Probably c.1910 to c.1930 era, Officer presentation quality dia chirra {double fullers.} with crescent mark.

Foil silver probably has been lost, {probably because it was so thin!} so has kardas silver buttcap. Unfortuantly the chape as well. This often come lose over the years & get placed on other kukris in the collection or dealers stock when they come to be sold. On occasion Ive had to buy 2 kukris at auction to put them back together as they should be.

The Silver scabbard top is unusual in workmanship & style.{ In a good way.} Looks to be pinned in place? Blade workmanship looks excelent! What size is it?
