Yes but it is there, you can now no longer be certain of non issue items elsewhere. Saying that these might have been commissioned.

I could show you English made ones that would destroy all theorys of Indian & Nepali kukri Tim.
I wasnt dating the Afghan from the brass bolster but from the design & threaded tang. I thought it {the nut} was probably copied from the mk.1 perhaps it was the other way round? or something else entirly? The bolster is also a heavy casting. That doesnt happen in Nepal or India either. I cant swear there will never be an exception to the rule, but it will be that. an exception. Spiral |
