I am pretty sure I have seen something similar perhaps in Egerton, but I cannot seem to locate my copy. The recurved blade resembles similar on khanjhar hilted short swords believed Deccani or northern Bengal/Nepal border regions. The hilt certainly resembles the profile of kukri's in degree.

Brilliant stuff,
Thanks to all, especially Emanuel for the links!! Most interesting, I've never encountered one of these before, so i'm very pleased to have learned something, and even more chuffed that it fits into my collecting theme! |
