An extremely scarce early 19thC Nepalese Hanshee Kukri. The blade with characteristic shallow kaudi, and spine with elegant twin spine fullers.
Handle length 5.25 inches. Blade length 13 inches. Overall length 18 inches. (Measurement taken in a straight line)
The blade with signs of sharpening, light rust and old corrosion. The green horn "Lambendh" grip in good condition, with some minor and one larger chip to the central grip ring and pommel. There is some small movement between the blade and the hilt. The bolster appears to be of silver.
Housed in its original leather covered wooden scabbard. The rear khissa pouch is present, and there is a pouch inside, although I feel this is likely a later replacement. There is a band of decorative quill work at the mouth of the pouch. The scabbard has lost its original kothi, but remains in good shape.
All in all a scarce example of a high quality and early Nepalese Hanshee, never previously offered for sale on the open market, and which would grace any serious kukri collection.
