Incomplete India Kukri for Translation and Comment

[Battara]

Greetings folks!

Here is a kukri that I think is from northern India and possibly from the early to mid 1800s. Yes the pommel disk is gone. It might be laminated (will have to etch test).

Also there is a Hindi inscription one the thick spine (arsenal mark?) that needs translation.


This is a huge and heavy piece that belongs to my brother-in-law.
