Thankyou Olikara! thats great.

I think kukris are well known in jodhpur but personaly I do have doubts re. there issue to Lancer cavalry units in ww1, {another story was that the Marajah raised a troop of Gurkhas for the British in WW1 but I have been able to totaly disprove that.} They certanly seem to be from Jodhpur region & they could easily be ww1 era, but evry photo or book I have read so far about the Jodhpur lancers niether shows or mentions the kukri. I rather wonder if the were just, police , palice guard etc?

But more reserch is neccasary. some of the handles are also marked in English, FG & a number , in the Brit army FG means Frontier Garrison but I have no idea about in Jodhpur.
