If this is the kukri you refer to I never heard the story of it being made for an English officer, but could be. It is very elaborate with a worked ivory grip, silver being sculpted into Lyall's name, and a scabbard (missing the velvet covering) with a finely done chape & mechanical locket. Most definitely done in India around mid 19thc.
