#31 looks like a typical Armoury kukri. No pommel, inscription on the spine in Devanagari, reading "Sri 3 Candra Varas(?) 2/48", which would date it to being in the Armoury in the early 20th century (1901-1929). I have no experience reading Devanagari, so perhaps I have the battalion (i.e., "Varas") wrong - any corrections appreciated. 14.5" blade, 800g.
