Not in the old regimental histories Ive read so far Gav. {Still one relevant one to find.}
But many Kachin were attached to V force behind enemy lines in Burma in ww2 & most of v forces Lee Enfield's & stens were made in Peshawar ,Tribal territory NWF.. due to short supply from the Indian arsenals & sub contractors.
So I always assumed there dha & kukri were local or Indian made but who knows?
