Authentic WWII Kukri of not?

[Sapper740]

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?

For $35, it doesn't really matter, that's a great price, I would have bought them. I'm no expert but I don't like the look of the stamps. If the stamps weren't on it, I'd say it's legit because not all were marked and it looks legit. The marks just look off, the broad arrow is too light and I don't recall India being stamped on military issue Kukri's.

I've been looking for a military (British) issue one off and on for years and they don't seem to be very common. I have a big one from WWI with Nepalese markings. It came from the Nepal arsenal and IMA.

I say they're tourist knives because the real ones have a rack number stamped on them from the units. Mine came from a Gurkha unit and was lost in the field here, another was found with a rack number two digits away. Mine has a horn handle and no chrome. I had no scabbard so I made one. I've had it since about 1976.
