Default Knife possible CBI Chindit knife

Dear Forum

I acquired this unusual knife this week I believe it to be CBI theatre made.

15 inch long blade length 10 & half inch with interesting notch on back edge of blade.

The inscription maker mark makes me think of Burma or India manufacture an area where Chindit knifes were manufactured.

Tiger cub with writing

I have checked various sources Seen similar but not a match. (Not the accepted Chindit patten) but many troops bought locally.

Has any one come across this patten before and can tie it down to time and place.

Or indeed recognise the writing on the blade to a specific language.

Much appreciated

Regards

Stephen
