Kukri for comments from Kathmandu

Hhhmmmmmm................you have a point Berkley. I guess I was thrown off by the quality of the hilt and the way it was on the blade: the gap between the blade and the hilt.

Good souvenier!

Personaly I think its not the original kukri as the spine shape doesnt match the scabbard.

Id guess its post ww2.

With old kukri, non matching scabbards & kukris are virtualy the norm in Nepal, both in the villages & amongst the city dealers, market traders. {its a common occurance amongst dealers & collectors in the west as well.}

Berkley, your picture posts were very helpful along with everybodies comments.
I believe the sheath to be silver and the gold is "leaf". The blade/s fit ok into the sheath, although the inside is quite well worn (to be expected).
It was the rustic kothimora sheath that drew me to it
