Help needed to identify ethnic blade

Atlantia · 20th June 2008, 10:52 PM

Hi Lew,
Thanks for having a look for me.
The blade is heavy like a Kukri, with small inset pieces of brass in the spine and simp[le incised decoration on the blade. Its about 600g and has hammer strike marks on the spine so has been used as a tool at some stage.
I havent cleaned it up or anything yet, it's as I bought it about 5 years ago.
Any ideas appreciated. I thought it was Indian and was going to stick a Tulwar hilt on it.

Thanks
Gene
