Vladimir,
A very nice presentation kothimora kukri. The integral wooden scabbard with holders for the accessory knives is a type John Powell called the "box kothimora". Too bad it's missing the chakmak or steel/striker, but the third tool is uncommon and interesting. The crest resembles several I have seen on similar kothimoras, and has elements of the British, Nepalese and Indian coats of arms. Does the seller have any details on the provenance of this one?
