Thats a nice kukri. The hilt is most likely hard wood as opposed to horn (there is no such thing as green horn, unless it is dyed) and looks old. However the leather on the scabbard appears to be new. Since there are no markings or other traits identifying this kukri as an antique, I would be inclined to consider it a contemporary piece. Its size and weight also fits this categorization. It is quite simple and functional, which is the most important feaure to those who appreciate these knives.
