HI DrDavid,
Well its certanly based on the the post 1960 design, The so called BSI.
2 offcial versians are made of this knife, the standard & the cerimonial .{Although a beater versian sometimes called a jungle kukri is also issued on occasion.} So in reality thats 3 offcial varients.
I would say that for evry one the British army has bought probably 200 replicas are made! So true originals {by my definition.}are sometimes hard to find.
They have been made by many firms over the past 40 years with consequant variations in design & massive variations in quality.
I would say yours is probably the jungle versian. Based on finnish, leather type & frog.
Somtimes it hard to differentiate the jungle from the standard though, given the different makers.
What length is the blade & what does it weight?
