Hello Richard,

A lot of ex Gurkha Officers settled every where in the UK, not that many in Guernsey or the Channel Islands per say, compared to the amount of Gurkha Officers that served in WWII, of whom the percentage KIA was pretty high BTW.

It is very unlikely to have been brought back by an Officer, certainly not used by a Gurkha in WWII, that's for sure. I think the marking had a special signifigance to the person that brought it back originally?

Classification? Simply a 'Kukri of mystery'
