      Just seen what this is, it is a cut down regular m35 or M40 experimental tank crew helmet.   Info is from  Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army: 1933-1945. Vol 3. Angolia, John R.; Schlicht, Adolf

      This a known as a Kothimora  Kukris under this category can actually be used however the main purpose is for display due to its extraordinary sheath. The sheath is made from pure silver and is totally handcrafted. Kothimoras (kukris with silver scabbard). It is a custom and tradition in Nepal to give away Kothimoras as gift on special occasion and events to thank and honor worthy action/deed. Kothimoras are also given to an retiring Gurkha Army officer as an honor.    this is a great Khukri. I would say it dates to the 1930s

      Ok, added a thin layer of chestnut brown, looks ok. Turns out the liner kit I bought doesn’t fit.    Here’s an original I found online for comparison.

      Oof. That is NOT brown. It looks like Dijon mustard. Dang it True Value, glad I only spent $7 for that paint.

      After priming the inside I noticed a stamp, 204. Lot number maybe? Never noticed it before now.

      I got this group at the Reading airshow this last weekend.  It was missing the 9 Year Service medal with the mount tongue broken off.  I got a replacement medal for pretty cheap (i.e. what it was worth) and sewed it on instead of trying to replace the tongue itself and screwing the whole thing up.  Now I can sleep in peace.....   -Ski
