Early 20th Century / WW1 period Kukri

An appealing early 20th c / WW1 period kukri which has all the characteristics of a military/ fighting kukri, the 12 1/2 inch long hollow ground blade with two small fullers remains in good condition with only light staining and age old dried grease still present.
The blade is of traditional form and weight compared to a military ordnance issued kukri with their heavy gauge steel .
There are two very small nicks to the cutting edge along with slight wavering from usage, minor knock marks to spine.
A nice early style hardwood grip with flared pommel and central raised ring, small chip to pommel, firm steel bolster.
The leather bound wooden scabbard is in original untouched condition with its khiss pouch present and still housing the karda & chakmak.
There was obviously no wastage when making the scabbard as the goat skin covering displays typical pull tears from the time of its stitching and crudely patched with off cuts.
A nice looking example.
Sorry Mainland UK sale only and photo ID required before being dispatched (18+).
