Lovely piece Kronckew, If I could have seen that hollow grind in the blade in the ebay photo, I would have bid 3x more than I did, its definatly the best quality one Ive seen.

Theyve been arround since at least ww2 in Nepal although the octaganal grip & scabbard constrution of this one look more Indian or Garhwalli construction to me. {Dehradun area etc.]

Id guess ww2 era but have no evidence.

What does it wiegh?
