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.... |

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. Spiral |
