A recently found example of this most hard to find Great War pattern kukri.
The desirable 1915 dated blade, with Indian Government ownership and broad arrow marking, and with the correct "C.O." markings for the Cossipore Arsenal.
13.5 inch blade, grip 4.5 inches including the bolster, 18 inches overall.
The blade is in good overall condition, with no sings of shortening or modification, and has some areas of old rust, staining, and exhibits signs of being service sharpened.
The wooden grip of "Fat handle" type, now with some old chips, the grip is rock solid, with no movement.. The grip retained by the correct sunken/hidden nut.
Production of this type of kukri ceased in 1915, in favour of the MK II.
Housed in the correct scabbard, this example being constructed of brown leather over wood, with brass chape. This with dents, scrapes and losses, all of which could be improved if desired.
A pleasing and complete example, which would be very difficult to better.
Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched. Please send this at the time of ordering, to prevent unnecessary delay in your order being dispatched.
