    Authentic WWII Kukri of not?

    I purchased a lot of 3 kukris from a seller at a local Flea market for $35.00. Of the three I was only interested in one which has all the attributes of an issued kukri including being stamped with a crow's foot and 'India'. The other two were stamped Pakistan and were quite fancy so I believe they were made for the tourist market.
    The kukri in question has the correct scabbard with leather attached to a wood former and has the Chakmak and Karda still in the scabbard. The plain wooden handle resembles the pictures I've seen of issued kukris and the fullers are present on both sides of the blade. Any thoughts?
