Nepali bowie?

just picked this one up on ebay as it looked a bit like an older version of some Nepali non-kukuhri knives i've admired elsewhere. maybe Indian? doesn't look all that old, but...

maybe more photos after it arrives if it's worth it....

ebay item 360039170405, more pics there till it expires....

Very nice but I think you paid too much for it

well, sometime you just get carried away at these auctions and just can't stop bidding....

i know it almost got up to the level of shah jahan's, but luckily it stopped a bit short of that.

Well Done! you won it for what I bid! A bargain I think, I would guess its ww2 era myself & perhaps made in India, hard to truly know.

Nicest one of that type Ive seen.
