Possibly late 1800s.

I would say 1940 blade shape wrong for an 1800s piece.

thank you both for your answers. Is it possible that a newer blade was attached to an older handle? The handle doesn't look like 40s to me, though I don't know too much about kukris...
Any other infos still highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter
