As above, I think this one is Indian.

There are very old and very new Nepalese kukris with no cho/kaudi, and some older (but not very old) ones, so "no cho" and "abnormal cho" don't always mean non-Nepalese.
Much appreciated Timo , I do agree . And of course , mariusgmioc , I did not say it was Nepalese .
