About this item
A good early 20th military kukri, dating from circa 1900/WW1. This example with a four digit soldiers number to tbe blade.
Hardwood grip, which has single central grip ring with further twin line band. The rat tail tang secured with a peened diamond keeper over the the pommel plate, indicative of early 20thC military kukri. Small areas of loss to the grip at the pommel, no splits and solid, without any movement.
The blade with single spine fuller in generally good bright condition, with areas of old light pitting towards the point, and signs of service sharpening and staining to the blade.
The black leather scabbard of military pattern, in solid condition. Still retaining its rear pouch with provision for chakmak and karda, although they are now absent, as is the steel chape, which has caused the start of a split.
Blade length 12.5 inches, 16.5 inches overall.
A good untouched example, now getting very difficult to find.
Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched.
