'military' KUKRI for comment

This is a kukri I bought from a family who claimed it had belonged to the father who had served in Burma in WW2 . Whilst the khaki cloth scabbard cover certainly loooks military and the size and weight of the weapon make it a formidable weapon , it does not conform to any of the official military patterns . It has the number 445 stamped on the blade but no other markings. Its weight without scabbard is 520 g , and its total length over the curve is 42 cm with the greatest width of the blade being 5 cm.
