Well its not official military issue, but its not a villagers kukri either.
Traditionaly village tools dont have buttcap or rivets. Thats Brit. infloance
Its most likely to be private purchase kukri, made as weapon for a Gurkha or Garhwal soldier or perhaps Brit officer or soldier.
I have a very similar one provenced to the soldier who picked it up in early WW1. I would say yours was probably of the same era.
The single Angh khoala fuller was very desired by many Gurkhas who bought them or had them kukri made by the Nepali & Indian makers.
Nice weapon.
