SOME EARLY KUKRI FROM KATHMANDU MUSUEM

The other awkward thing to point out is that these blades were mostly trophies from captured opponents. I wonder if khukuris are like falchions, in that the best ones got used up and only a few oddballs made it into collections.

Hi Fearn, the vest majority of the weapons in the National Museum are attributable to individuals, rather than captured weapons, and are clearly marked as such.

Jonathan perhaps with your photo collection from 2005 you could list in date order etc for Battara, I would of course contribute.
