A scarce and desirable early 19thC Nepalese Hanshee Kukri, with silver mounted pommel cap, decorated with stylised flowers and foliage. The blade with characteristic shallow kaudi, and spine with twin shallow fullers bordering decoration of dot, punch and star patterns, retaining traces of its inlay.
Handle length 6.25 inches. Blade length 14 inches. Overall length 19.25 inches. (Measurement taken in a straight line)
The blade with signs of sharpening, light rust and old corrosion. The wooden "Lambendh" grip in good condition, with minor chips to the central grip ring.
The whole would benefit from a thorough clean, polish and general TLC.
All in all a very scarce example of a high quality early Nepalese Hanshee, which would grace any collection.
