A mystery solved!
Collectors have been debating the origins of kukris stamped "TEMPERED STEEL MADE IN INDIA ALLIED"
Recently we purchased items from a family who were able to answer the question of who produced these and when were they made: "my
father, a machine tool engineer, was commissioned by General Slim to
manufacture at great speed many thousands of these weapons."
