searching for a kukri

JPSF · 28th February 2005, 11:08 PM

Now if you'll pass the source material on to me Brian I can get some sleep. I've been searching through everything to no avail. I can't even find the original colour photos that somehow found their way here.

Bob Hales had offered this piece a while back when he still had a shop in London. My understanding is that it ended up in Japan but can't confirm this. I would dearly love to study this thing up close.

hey jp,
cant help, as the reference i lost, and then found was the elliot and snowden catalogue of the mid 70s. the image is B/W and the dagger is sheathed. the image is not of quality, and yours is much better. will happily forward the image and details if you dont have the reference.
ys, its annoying looking for something you know you have. try looking for something else, like your car keys

not sure where your image came from, as i'm not aware of it being in any other book. bob would be a good place to start, as he used to have a stack of photos of pieces he had owned (what a book they would make!!). always too busy to look through them, although recent circumstances means he has some time on his hands. now would be a good time to ask him. i would assume he had owned it after elliot and snowden.
