Handle is 110 mm, blade 290 mm.

Thanks for the responses, chaps. I’ll get some more shots and dimension up. The “pommel” looks to be brass.

Another mid 20th Century Indian Kukri?

Picked up by my Uncle when in the Himalayas in the late 1970s. Handle seems to be bone? Looks fairly crude. Is this another North Indian made kukri?

Thanks, M.

Thanks for the reply. My uncle passed in 1983, so I guess this is closer to 45 years - a vintage Indian tourist replica! :) Yes, the two small knives are very crudely made.

Mid 20th century kukri

Hello,

I believe this kukri is from Nepal, made some time before the late 1970s. I assume it’s a souvenir type that is typically seen? I’m not sure of its exact origin in Nepal, my uncle picked it...

Nepalese (unknown) short sword?

Hello,

Posting a few pictures of a knife I inherited from my uncle, who passed many years back. I know he travelled to Nepal in the early 1980s and I assume he may have got it from there - but I...

WW2 Burmese Dha identification?

Hello,
I’m looking to verify if the dha I picked up many years ago at an antique store is of the type used by the British Indian Army in WW2. Or whether it’s simply a roughly made souvenir with an...
