Unidentified Kukris
Hi all,
I've recently purchased the following two kukri's and I'm having trouble identifying the these examples because of the plethora of information about which can be slightly overwhelming. The black handled example shares strong similarities with the Mk2 Kukri but with some slight variations, I therefore believe it to be a private purchase example due to the absence of any markings, dating to the early/mid 20th century. The white horn handled example is definitely the most interesting as it looks to be locally produced and is named to a RFM Osborne. The scabbard looks traditional and not military issue so I reckon its a presentation kukri/private purchase. I reckon RFM stands for Rifleman but the name Osborne is definitely not Gurkali so can anyone shed any light to its provenance? Yours Sincerely, Gregory. |
