Kukri dated 1945 marked "HW"

[werecow]

Over here there is a picture of three kukri (different looking from RobT's, but presumably the same maker; see attached) with the subscript:

A smaller group of MKIII knives all dating from WWII. The top blade was produced by CMW in 1944, the middle example is from HW in 1944 and the last piece carries the iconic K-45 stamp (which was once mistaken for a model designation, instead it refers to the year of manufacture.)

So, made by HW, in 1944. Here, again mentioning the Mark III, it says:

Manufacturers stamps

MIL=Military Industries
WCS= Windless Steel Company
CMW= Located in Calcutta
K45= K stands for kukri and the 45 the year of manufacture
HW= Unknown but it could stand for a city called Hardwar located between Almora and Dharadun India. Both Almeria and Dharadun served as Gurkha Regimental centers.
LD 64= unknown
KEO 1975= unknown
RGR= unknown, this stamp was on a very
nice modified Mk.3
SA= some proofs mark found on all
WWII Mk.3 that I have seen. It is found
on some kukris made prior to Indian
Independence in 1947. SA stands for
small arms.
