Thanks Mate.
These aren't something that I usually venture much cash on (well, apart from that beautiful one with the double fuller), but this one seemed an interesting type and at the price of a evening in the pub!
I think th short tang is an early indicator as well....

Hopefully Spiral or one of the kuk-folk will know more.

Thanks
Gene

Very nice piece! What origin of ethnicity is it?

Thanks Gav

Titus,
It's from Nepal (originally).
There are a lot of them in England because of our long 'association' with that part of the world.

well done G.

your doing well! lovely shape & style to that piece, with a well made military style longleaf angh khola blade. Probably made late 19th or early 20th century {pre.ww1.}

Id suspect this one to be Indian made, but could be mistaken.

Id guess blades about 14 inches? Whats it weigh?
