Thank you for your input gentlemen, it is greatly appreciated. I'm going to hold on to the possibility my kukri is legit for a little while longer. I found a picture of an Indian soldier who was a member of the 4th Indian Division which was part of the British8th Army in Africa wielding a kukri. If Indian soldiers were issued kukris then the possibility of them stamping "India" on them remains. That, and the scabbard being of the correct type and it's condition which suggests it is decades old lends credence to my thoughts it is an issued kukri.
