These were common in WWII among the British Gurkhas. The hilt is aluminum.

Often sold as WW1 but the consensus amongst collectors now is that they are late WW2 (1945) or just after.

Given to Jodhpur Lancers and troops by Maharaja Umaid Singhji of Jodhpur.

Cool khukuri! I like the quick draw scabbards.
