Came across this during one of my daily bayonet searches and then spent about a week or so researching and comparing prices before committing to buy. They claim it's the real deal and I have no reason to dispute it.
For an original Nepal knife with military provenance, this is a bargain basement price from what I was able to find.
Came today, covered in cosmoline, wrapped in plastic. Wood handle missing nothing, just a few scrapes and dents. Blade is rust free but does have a couple of staining spots. The edge did need dressing up a bit but not much. No British marks that I can find but it is serial numbered in standard letters and numbers on the top of the blade. IMA is the seller, $89.99 is the price, shipping is free. I did have to pay state sales tax on top of that.
Took about 10 minutes to clean up and it looks just like the one in the photo except the stains are different.
