Mid 20th century kukri

Hello,

I believe this kukri is from Nepal, made some time before the late 1970s. I assume it’s a souvenir type that is typically seen? I’m not sure of its exact origin in Nepal, my uncle picked it up when he was there in the late 70s.

The blades is ~29.5 cm long. The blade spine is 1 cm thick. The handle is hard wood with rivets and what looks like brass pommel and ferrule. The two by knives are of similar construction. One is sharp, the other dull and squared off. Scabbard seems like hide or similar with very rudimentary carved pattern and a white metal chape. The wire loop is from its days hanging on my uncles lounge room wall!

Thanks again - all comments welcome.
