Thank you Marius for your reply, I had never thought of the second one as an Indian Kukri. I have always thought it was Indian made as a hunting knife for a European with it having quillons and a false edge. With regard to the first one I don't think it is wootz I cant see any pattern in the steel.
Thank you also Tatyana, the link was very interesting. I also agree with your dating.
Regards
Miguel
