The scabbard seems to be a later replacement which might be consistent with a WWII scenario. I'd try to remove the varnish after carefully glueing the recent crack (traditional wood glue, possibly with a de-oiling step for tropical woods; I reckon the wood is not really heavy hardwood though?).

Very light wood.

BTW, aren't the service numbers from Victoria accessible?

I'm trying to find out. I normally find this out fast as I have attributed a number of kukri to service men when a number is no a scabbard etc.
