RRA227 Posted February 27, 2021 #1 Posted February 27, 2021 Kukri's. W.W.1 and 2 marked. Others are marked. Different blade shapes. Rich A. in Pa.
SARGE Posted February 28, 2021 #2 Posted February 28, 2021 Nice WWI military issue Kurki Rich. Here is one that was brought back from the China, Burma, India Theater (CBI) by a US P-38 pilot. He said he bought it in a local market and kept it while overseas. He also brought back a very large folding knife that he said he wore while flying "just in case he needed it". Quite a fellow who also had a reel of his gun camera film that he would not let go of. He was quite adept at strafing runs according to the film.
gunnertwo Posted March 1, 2021 #3 Posted March 1, 2021 Here's my one example, I'm guessing British proofed. G2
gunnertwo Posted March 1, 2021 #5 Posted March 1, 2021 Rich, I'm guessing the "43" is the year made. Is the "ATD" the english acceptance marking? Thanks. G2
RRA227 Posted March 1, 2021 Author #6 Posted March 1, 2021 Army Traders Dharan. Mk.2 Second pattern. 1942,1943,1944. Common maker. Rich A. in Pa.
Old Marine Posted March 15, 2021 #8 Posted March 15, 2021 Great information. I have had this for years. Is this military? INDIA and the arrow are the only markings.
RRA227 Posted March 15, 2021 Author #9 Posted March 15, 2021 May be W.W.2. But it was surplus and India stamp added for import rules from what I read. Rich A. in Pa.
JEdwin Posted September 7, 2022 #10 Posted September 7, 2022 I’m new to this forum but I am a collector of military edged weapons mainly from WW2. I purchased this Kukri and there are no markings and it’s really difficult finding much useful information on this type of weapon. I believe that the grips are made of Buffalo horn but not completely sure. Doing some research it appears to fit the profile as a sirupate version possibly from the 1940’s. Anyone can chime in let me know. I do have more pics.
