Attached is an image of the presentation plaque fixed to the stand of the Tiger kukri I illustrated. As well as being a kind gift given between brothers in arms, it also appears to be magical and time travelling, being gifted a full two years before you say you had it made?
Which rather puts your claim of designing this “Tiger” motif in doubt?
Especially considering the example you share also shows a Tiger. Tigers and indeed Lions are a very common theme on many presentation weapons, especially kukris.
You may also be interested in this Tiger example, presented in 1965…quite some time before you invented it!!
