Hi Mervyn,

There is nothing special here. All the daggers are very common none of them have

any etchings or interesting features.

The top 2 daggers are both marked /i B2. The 3rd knife is a /i England marked piece while the last

one is a Indian issue piece marked /i "I" and is also marked England. The Kukri is a ww1 issued

piece marked /i 1914.

Thanks Greg. Some very dedicated collectors like to have these details. I hope you are getting ready for the Photo Comp. -

should be starting in Oct. ? Mervyn

I thought the kukri was WWI - the very small handles and slightyly thinner blades on the issue ones from that period are fairly recognizable.
