Info on Old Military kukri

[Andy Stevens]

Hello all
This little gem fell into my hands over the weekend. Can someone tell me its age and place of origin. I have looked on other web sites but as yet have not found an exact match. The blade is 13inch long, the handle is 4inches in length and is finnished with a dome cap. The mark on the blade looks like a stylelised deer head or similar. The scabbard is interesting in having a large tinder pouch. The brass scabbard tip is marked with what looks like I&M (samemark is stamped on the tinder pouch ). Both small knifes are missing. Thanks in advance.
