Berkley,

Thanks for your answer. I visited the International Kukri Research and Historical Society forum. A very interesting site about the kukri. I will spend some more time on it later to look at the topics there. For all the forum members who didn't know about the existance of this site, take a look!!

The tinder pouch is present in the small bag that contains the little knives and the tweezers. I opened the flap and took the pouch out of it and opened the pouch because I had no idea what the purpose was of this "thing". In it I found a small copper coin. Probably Nepalese. On the coin where characters. Not chinese but look a likes. That's why I think the coin is Nepalese. Was it used as a purse or did they put in the coin for luck?
