A wonderful job bringing this old warhorse back to life.
A typical private purchase kukri circa 1944 onwards, probably made in Darjeeling and sold in the markets and bazaars of India, wherever there were soldiers to sell them to.
The sheath and frog (which appears to be on backwards) seems to have held up well, considering the state of the original hilt. Was there anything in the khissa pouch?
Thanks for showing this piece.
