Private purchase? ww2 mid 20th century? The chap I got it from was quite a bit older than me and he said it was his fathers who was in a Gurkha unit but could have been in Malay, a bit latter. No marks, almost pristine, was covered in grease but there are a few spots and a small patch of rust. Not old but nice quality and has been worn for a reasonable time. Heavy the sticky out thing near the handle is just under 6.5mm wide and the back at the forte is just under 9mm, nice shape. any information would be helpful. Such a shame it is not old.
