Nice Kukri - Opinions?

I would say that this piece is a little more modern based on the angle of the blade and the brass bolsters, say, at least turn of the 20c. What is nice is that it has nice silver work, red coral, turquoise, amethyst, and an elephant ivory hilt. Certainly more up scale. Nice puppy (woof!

).

A very attractive kukri with tools. You might look for John Powell (JP) at the International Kukri Research and Historical Society Forum, and check out some other posts on that forum for clues to some of the markings on your kukri. We are fortunate to have several good online resources on older collectible kukris.
