This one is for Spiral. There was an all things military fare near me today. I took a bundle of old junk there and came home with two new bits of old junk.

Side opening scabbard with a small but acceptable amount of damage. Nice horn handle with carved section. The bolster part appears to be silver, I have not tested it yet but I am pretty sure it is. The weapon out of the scabbard weighs 450g, I do not know why the weight seems to be important when discussing Kukri. The blade is 32.5cm long, total length 46cm from tip to tip in a straight line. I think the blade may be a little fancy also but I am not sure about try to make it show. Not really my sort of thing. Possibly 19th century?
